KissAnne

Hi everybody. 🙂👋 My name is Anne and I'm from Finland. I created my account today so I'm now studying how to use Mastodon.

I work as a Specialist and I'm interested in Service Design and different cultures. I love cats, , nature, kayaking and reading/listening to books/nice music. I'm a gentle soul with a positive mindset. 🙂

#finland#cats#nature

@dropbear I had to google what that means!! 🤣🤭

@KissAnne always said with loud gasping admiration!

@KissAnne Welcome! In my experience follow a lot of different people and engage in a lot of different conversations. Mastodon is definitely more of a social gathering. The days I don’t feel like conversation, I just read up to see what everyone else is doing. I’ve been on for about 4 months and have really enjoyed my time on Mastodon.

@Jofish5000 Thank you!! Good tips. I was really active on Twitter but it's not working well anymore. I write there in Finnish and here in English. I will follow different kind of people. 😊 Have a good day!

@KissAnne Hi Anne, your kitties are beautiful 🥰

@Fossfor Hi! Thank you. Siiri is a Siberian cat and Sanni (her sister) is a Neva Masquerade cat. Sanni inherited a masquerade gene from both sides so se became a neva.

@GuitarSith Hi Alan. Thank you. Rasta actually told me about Mastodon. He and Juno were here so I finally came too. 😊 Twitter has been so broken recently.

@KissAnne I’ve pretty much given up on twitter now and posted that I’d be deactivating my account April 1st (which I figured was entirely appropriate 😂). However I’ve now heard that the handles for deactivated accounts are being reused, which scares me a bit. So I might unfollow a lot of people and lock the account instead.

I’m loving it here, follow both Rasta and Jarno. It took a bit of getting used to, but now it’s home. Great to see some of my long time followers here.

@GuitarSith Oh that's worrying. Twitter doesn't work anymore. It doesn't show comments on your own tweets anymore. Or a part of them.

I use Twitter in Finnish and Mastodon in English. I don't want to loose all those amazing people I have got to know on Twitter but it takes too much time to use them both, Twitter and Mastodon. Now I have time because I'm on sick leave after the knee replacement surgery but soon I'm working again.

@KissAnne I’m not seeing a lot of my followers tweets anymore, especially anyone who purchased the check mark. Lots of other technical issues too, but definitely an increase in nasty posts.
I hope they add a translation feature here soon. I see a few posts in other languages and it would be nice to get more than an inkling of what’s being said.

@GuitarSith Let's hope that feature comes. I write in English. Sometimes it's difficult to express myself in English because I cannot find the words but I'll try to learn and get better. I have studied English for 13 years and it was my working language at Nokia. I did my Masters Degree in English. But it's still difficult cause I should have wider vocabulary.

Sometimes I chat with some Finns here in Finnish. That's the only reason to use Finnish.

@GuitarSith You also retoot pictures of cats. Do you have cats? Sorry I don't remember.

@KissAnne Yes. I still have Leia. Sadly her brother Luke left us three years ago.

@GuitarSith She's beautiful. I'm sorry you lost your other cat. 🥺♥️

@KissAnne We miss him, Leia still cry’s at night because she can’t find him.

@GuitarSith oh that mades me sad. Have you thought having a new kitten to keep her company? ♥️

@KissAnne We weren’t sure if she’d accept another cat in what she now considers to be her space. So we just give her as much love and attention as we can.

@GuitarSith I understand that well. My ex husband and I didn't take another cat either to keep Martta company when Miikkulainen passed away. We took two cats later when we didn't have Martta anymore. Now Sanni and Siiri are almost 9 years old and we have "a shared custody". We've had that for 7 years now and it works perfectly. 😊 We both love our cats a lot.

@KissAnne I got them when they were 3 months old. She will be 15 this year. They were in the cage at the SPCA together so I’m pretty sure they were brother & sister, but the vet said there was no way to tell for certain. They might have had the same mother but different fathers, since a female cat in heat is often impregnated by multiple male cats.

@KissAnne welcome!! Tip: follow the hashtag #caturday it is the best thing about mastodon so far 🐱😁 (it has other great things too, but it is Hard to beat pictures of cute cats on caturday). 👍🏼

@gatosyfuego Thank you. I also follow hastag 😊

@KissAnne hi and welcome from another cat addict!

@sara2309 Hi Sara! Nice to meet you! 🤗🤗

@KissAnne Hi! I visited Espoo back in the late 80s when I was studying in Belgium—I had a friend who lived there. I grew up in Alaska so Finland felt familiar in some ways, although the architecture and cities were significantly different! Nice to “meet” you!

@ImmedicableME Wow that's interesting. Nice to meet you too! 🤗

@KissAnne Hi Anne! I'm Toby! I live near the great city of Philadelphia in a place called the Main Line with my dad & mom who are kind of weird but nice!!

@CharliePurrker Hello Toby. You are a very handsome cat. Greetings from Sanni and Siiri. They live in Finland.

@KissAnne Hi Sanni and Siri!! Nice to meet you! Love your eyes!!
