I'm trying to keep track of the mass migrations to Mastodon that have happened.

I think it started with:
- early adopters, programmers, FOSS people
- tons of peeps in Japan
- furry community moving off Twitter
- LGBTQ+ folks leaving twitter
- people who saw that polygon article (me) or heard about it when it started getting mentioned on hackernews
- comics/artists leaving twitter
- NSFW blogs leaving Tumblr
- sex workers
- and now, Indian politics Twitter users

Am I missing any big moments?

@abbenm Tons of Japanese? Do they have a manga community here? 😍

@aju000 There's some Manga, though Loli were a bit more of an issue -- that's problematic in many areas outside of Japan.

Might try Pawoo.net. I don't recall the other large instances, though mastodon.cloud is now run by a Japanese firm.

@dredmorbius @aju000 @abbenm searching for .jp on instances.social is a decent way to find japanese instances if you’re looking for something specific? (obviously you’ll miss a few, like pawoo that don’t use japans country code, but it’s a decent place to start)
