Happy Migration Day, Alberta Mastodonians(?)

I'm pulling together a list of #Alberta #abpoli #ableg #yyc #yeg etc voices (and there's talk of #ABextweeters for an ongoing hashtag) so we can find one another in this strange but interesting new land. Either comment on this post or send me a DM if you'd like your handle added.

Parts 1-7 are here: https://mastodon.social/@TheGentYYC/109338658725587906

Part 8-13: https://mastodon.social/@TheGentYYC/109366201147204602

@TheGentYYC

Hey folks ~

It's Jane from twitter. I still block all real estate agents and hate the UCP government. πŸ˜‚

Hope to find everyone again. It's really nice to have a place to go for when twitter's dismantling ends up complete.

Anyway, give me a bell here and I'll follow back.

@TheGentYYC I’m an Alberta nurse. Would like to be added!
@TheGentYYC
Hi from #yyc! Learning my way around here, happy to find #abpoli pals.
@janet_matiisen In! And a happy Sunday to you

@TheGentYYC can you tell us how to follow without being redirected to another site?

It should be simpler than what I'm doing I'm sure.

@ajcan I don't know very much about this place yet but I'll keep my eyes open
@TheGentYYC I figured it out, every time I click on a name on the list, if it has a different server than I it redirects me. I should just copy handle into the search bar and paste, that seems to work better.
@ajcan Yeah that might be the thing.
@ajcan Actually I just updated your handle and now it should be good?
@TheGentYYC
Oh hi! Please link me to my people.
@TheGentYYC incredible work! Could I interest you in hosting this at news.mstdn.ca?
@chad If you tell me exactly how to do that I'm in
@chad @TheGentYYC Are you looking to set up a central location for Canadian journos? Because that would be awesome.
@cautionwip @chad I agree it would be awesome and is indeed necessary but my focus is Alberta folks (including journos)
@TheGentYYC @chad I realize that. I was mainly asking regarding Chad’s intention since it’s a Canadawide instance and simply says β€œnews” not β€œalbertanews” so I was wondering if he was thinking of making it a national source as opposed to regional. I should have removed you from the thread to avoid precisely this sort of confusion. My bad, sorry.
@chad I've created a bot account, @abmastodonians, to follow everyone that @TheGentYYC has listed. Still pretty new to mastodon so if this is a violation of terms or whatever then let me know and i'll delete it.
@TheGentYYC Awesome idea! Count me in please.
@roxandroll In! And have a GREAT Monday!
@TheGentYYC Please add me to the list. I've been in AB for over a decade, but I'm looking to escape before the provincial flag turns national and the premier's office becomes a palace.
@inkynibs In! And have a GREAT Monday. And for the record I think #Notley is #Alberta's next premiere
@TheGentYYC Thank you. I hope you’re right!
@TheGentYYC add me in please and thanks!
