Wow.. I just read that pawoo has been taken over by the Mask Group that also runs mstdn.jp and mastodon.cloud 🤔

So.. they own now 3 of the largest instances

@stux Aren't the biggest of these two almost exclusively Japanese language?

I ask this because it's rather interesting that it's Japanese language instances that are the focus of consolidation here, and I wonder if there's a causative reason for this.

@mathlover @stux

It’s really not surprising that two Japanese language instances are the focus of consolidation. The potential user base is huge. Japan had the second largest number people using Twitter at 59 million in January. U.S. was first at 77 million. Other countries were much lower.
