article headline: Japan Earthquake Alert App Says Sayonara to X
cross-posted from: https://kbin.social/m/technology@lemmy.world/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.
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.
It will identify the first Kaiju attack. Picked up due to seismic activity. Released from the Antarctic - Article on new species found in Antarctic
Much better title!

''How to save Twitter video (Convert Twitter to mp4)?
488k is the number of posts, they have 19k followers. Pretty great news still tho
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.
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.
”…move our operations onto different platforms will eventually only result in the same outcome as this time and therefore will not be considered.”
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.
Does anyone has a link to it?
