Hi, I'm Aurynn. I run cloudisland.nz, an instance entirely hosted in Aotearoa New Zealand, on the Catalyst Cloud OpenStack cloud!
Cloud Island is a general-purpose instance, with a lot of really cool folks doing really cool things.
I toot mostly about cloud technology as I work on the Cloud Island infrastructure, general life, and sometimes #sociology.
I also do #photo #books sometimes!
I am transgender. Trans rights are human rights.
Welcome!
though if you were into that sort of thing you totally could just ... run Mastodon like you would an old-timey UUCP or FidoNet board, and only receive/publish messages at certain time.
I wonder if people are still running Fidonet nodes.

It's *so* slow. On the top-of-the-line Intel MBP they sell.
It's been *so* slow since the day I got it.
