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.
Not surprising, they are trying to redirect people on bluesky not on the fediverse
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~~
