I knew that #Mastodon is big in #Japan but mstdn.jp activity figures are wild.
Since November it's stable around 400k registered users, most of which go inactive for months at a time. But in the past 4 days, 200k of them returned active. That would account for half of the increase in MAU as measured by @fediverse.
Is this just the effect of word of mouth off-fediverse?
Fukushima: IAEA hält Kühlwasser-Entsorgung für unbedenklich

Was out last night on a restaurant/party boat in the bay and up the Sumida River in Tokyo. My eldest son's workplace threw the bash and asked me along, which was very nice of them.

Didn't a whole bunch of Japanese mercs get hit a few months ago? What about Englihs teachers? Would it be better career/ For the Japanese it would pay better, and allows these guys to try to get their game on with white women and kill white people, so to the Japanese it's probably a giant Disneyland! But to the local English teacher? WOULD it be worth it?

Best place to experience the manko?
