Pawoo, a Japanese Mastadon instance on the Fediverse notoriously bad about moderating CSAM, has been taken down.

Any moderation or oversight is considered "abuse", even if it's a result of the instance admins completely failing in their due diligence. Really, how poorly did they moderate CSAM as to necessitate their registrar stepping in???

It's so easy to run your own DNS servers, I don't expect that it'll be offline long, unless it's the registrar.
- Running your own DNS server doesn’t do much, unless your users are polling that DNS server, or a DNS server that pulls from it. No large DNS provider is going to honor your random ass DNS servers mappings, and that’s a good thing.
  
  And honestly, trusting some random DNS server isn’t a good idea. All it takes is one malicious entry and https://google.com suddenly loads in a cryptominer.
  
  I think he means he's running the name server for his zone (i.e. the authority for subdomains of his domains), which of course doesn't help if the top level domain gets suspended and the NS record gets deleted.
  
  I've been running my own DNS for like two decades on a random ass IP
- It looks like the registrar changed the nameserver, which is a harder thing to recover from. Still, didn't keep them down for long. Looks like they figured something out
Mastodon.cloud is also owned by the owners of pawoo.
