article headline: Japan Earthquake Alert App Says Sayonara to X
cross-posted from: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/333398
Many people in Japan depend on the NERV service for earthquake alerts. Unfortunately, they’ll no longer be able to receive them on X.
That’s a pretty huge move right there, hopefully this is the first of many migrations of apps to Activity Pub software (besides Threads).
Also…the name NERV kind of threw me off for a second. Tell the anime crowd on Twitter that NERV moved to Mastodon full time and we’ll probably get an extra 2 million people in the Fediverse.
GET IN THE DAMN FEDIVERSE, SHINJI
Is the app seriously called NERV? 🤣
I thought it was all a prank because of all the NGE terminology (Gehirn too). It says in the article the founder is a fan, which makes sense. I’d want to pretend I’m sending off
anglesangels too if I were running an anti earthquake product.
Much better title!

488k is the number of posts, they have 19k followers. Pretty great news still tho
TL;DR: X’s rate increases are costing the service about ¥6 million per month. As that is very expensive, they would rather spend their money developing their own platform and using a free social media platform to disseminate information.

I feel like the only thing that can dethrone twitter now is mastodon, given how it’s setup. I don’t really think bluesky will work anymore.
Is “switches” really correct? They’ve been on Mastodon since 2017.

Does anyone has a link to it?
