BIG NEWS: Pawoo.net, the world's 2nd biggest Mastodon instance, has just been acquired.
The entity acquiring them is the Mask Group, an entity that also runs mstdn.jp and mastodon.cloud. They are also active in the so-called "Web 3.0" space.
If you haven't heard of pawoo.net, it's because many instances have de-federated from it.

@atomicpoet Why did they get defederated?
@Pineywoozle Objectionable content—to put it very mildly.
@atomicpoet NSFW or one of the ugly isms?
@Pineywoozle @atomicpoet Let me guess, nsfw Anime etc.? I doubt it was "ugly isms" ...
@gisiger @atomicpoet I wonder if they’re going to warn people about the defederated status.
@Pineywoozle @gisiger @atomicpoet I believe a lot of people there doesn't even know it's a Mastodon instance
