Today, it was announced that one of Japan's large Mastodon servers, friends.nico, will be shut down after a month.

There have been changes to operators on large servers so far, but it is the first time for large servers to be shut down, and attention is being paid to what effect this may have.

Japan's mastodon user's timeline is temporarily bustling with this topic.

@soapdog friends.nico is provided by a for-profit company that works with video sharing services in Japan.

They have been less profitable than before, and have decided to discontinue many of their services.

The closure of Mastodon is part of it.
