Tl;dr: Fediverse roll-up already had mstdn.jp and mastodon.cloud, now adds pawoo.net.

Oh really.

pawoo.net is widely de-federated because it’s full of lolicon. I just left mastodon.cloud because it was getting sketchy. Hey, now they’re all gonna have Web3 too.

#fediblock alert, obvs.

It’ll be interesting to see how the ecosystem reacts to to this sort of burgeoning EvilFedi.

“Take the ship up and nuke the site from orbit” is unfortunately not an available tactic.

@timbray The fact that they bought the Fediverse home of the lolicon really drives home the impression that they are scammers, morons, or both.

@nocleverhandle @timbray I just had someone on a siloed social network sniff at encouraging my community to move from #Twitter to the #fediversr because “that DAU is lower than #Gettr.” The “number go up” ethos is everywhere.

They had such strong opinions considering they never post to the Twitter community. Sorry, buddy, you don't get a vote if you never show up.

@mjgardner @timbray LOL, those people should be mocked until they STFU.

@nocleverhandle @timbray Worth noting: I didn't ask for anyone’s opinion. Just a “this is happening, get on board if you want” announcement
