Does anyone have a clue who's running mstdn.jp and mastodon.cloud (if anyone?) 🤔

Neither @TheAdmin or @Sujitech_official
appear to have been active since November 2021

Someone's obviously paying the bills, the two servers have 227k and 280k users, respectively...

I think the owner/CEO is Suji Yan (@suji_yan on twitter). They're @Sujiyan on this instance but, again, inactive since Nov 2016. They seem to be a lot more active as @Sujiyan, which is reassuring, at least...

@WiteWulf @TheAdmin @Sujitech_official @Sujiyan Mastodon.cloud & Mstdn.jp is maintained by Sujitech, LLC. Which is sufficiently funded. :)

@WiteWulf @TheAdmin @Sujitech_official @Sujiyan @Sujiyan thank you very much for providing the server!
Does this mean we can expect to see the software updated to Mastodon 4.0 and block lists kept up to date? I’ve been thinking of switching servers as there hasn’t seemed to be any update in the posted block list in years and the About page shows it still running 3.4.6. Well funded and stable is great, but not enough. What can we do to help?

@Bhawthorne @WiteWulf @TheAdmin @Sujitech_official @Sujiyan Yes we will upgrade server.
For now there're some other announcement *(good ones!) coming soon so we will wait for few weeks and thx!
