I guess it would be appropriate for me to post a photo I took of the Cowichan Valley where I live from atop Swuq'us (Mt.Prevost) as my first post here on SocialBC Mastadon. #Vancouverisland #photography #introduction

Honestly this photos are incredible, and they caught my interest. I'm interested in purchasing just 5 of them as digital copy.
Please do well to send me a direct if interested

Welcome!

Last fall was my first time riding (#eBike) to the top of Mt. Prevost - spectactular! Yes, I had to walk the bike for a bit; neither of us had enough juice.

I live in #Quw̓utsun̓ too, in Duncan.

Give a shout out if you have any questions! like how to block (or mute) any scammers. Such an awful introduction to Mastodon, so sorry you had to get that.

@Amgine @chris the mute function on Bluesky has been amazing to keep my feed free of people like Trump, Musk, Vance and Poilievre. I will use it here liberally if needed once I get a feel for the "room". Thanks for the welcome

You're welcome! also, Chris-of-many-hats is one of the admins at socialbc. While there are bots - like that one - here in the #fediverse, the nature of a federated environment makes it much more expensive with a lower rate of return. And we have the most wonderful communities of #moderation.

@Amgine @ChrisIstace @chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca I blocked and reported the spammer myself!
and then went and suspended it from socialbc.ca
Hooray for local moderation! ;=)
