Many people in Japan depend on the NERV service for earthquake alerts. Unfortunately, they'll no longer be able to receive them on X.

I wonder how much of that is recent / related to this service, and how much of it is from before. It's great to see different countries getting going with fediverse stuff.

I always thought it was weird when governments and institutions had to tiptoe around these tech giants. It makes so much more sense for them to host their own thing on their own infrastructure.
