     As I understand, Dwango has not been doing too well financially and while they have previously expanded into providing various services including a Mastodon server (friends.nico), now they are shutting down all ventures that don't bring revenue

     I'm sad because they've got an amazing domain name, super cute elephant drawings, I have spoken to their engineers over video, they invited me to Tokyo (although I didn't go, I attended over teleconference)
