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 ~~angles~~angels too if I were running an anti earthquake product.

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.

It will identify the first Kaiju attack. Picked up due to seismic activity. Released from the Antarctic - Article on new species found in Antarctic

TL;DR: X’s rate increases are costing the service about Β₯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.

Is β€œswitches” really correct? They’ve been on Mastodon since 2017.

It is an unofficial app, albeit a very popular one
