NERV is running its own Mastodon server, but that’s not run by any government agency and is a private company. The different prefectures are still weighing options. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] ikidd@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago If I were in charge of disaster warnings, a distributed, redundant system like the Fediverse would seem to be the perfect option for a warning system. But what do I know... permalink fedilink source parent [–] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 years ago Ah I see. I hope they consider Mastodon or something similar. permalink fedilink source parent [–] yui@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) NERV? Like the agency from Evangelion? I'm not too familiar with any other abbreviation than that haha. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] stopthatgirl7@kbin.social [S] 3 points 3 years ago That’s where they got the name from, yup. permalink fedilink source parent [–] tiredofsametab@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago Yeah, I wish the government would do something. Preferably something that exists today, but I trust they'd want to make their own shitty app. At least then it'd be in one place, I suppose. Emergency alerts on phones are a thing for many people, but not everything is that level of emergency. permalink fedilink source parent
