I'm surprised that the article doesn't mention Misskey. It's a Federated platform that connects with Mastodon and the like, and has close to a million users. After Mastodon it's the most active platform in the Fediverse, and owes most of its popularity to Japanese users.
they are basically running a huge marketing campaign and a few halfwits on the fediverse are promoting a 'competing' platform.
nothing new under the sun.
I saw a lot of bizarre shit from there through my federated Mastodon instance…
Let's just say that decentralized social media lets Japanese users post stuff other mainstream platforms won't.
So yeah, there's a lot of lolicon.
We live in a society ~~where this type of shit sounds clearly wrong and yet they wander around the internet posting this like it's normal~~
Not surprising, they are trying to redirect people on bluesky not on the fediverse
