Japanese disaster prevention X account can’t post anymore after hitting API limit - The issue has arisen after major Tsunami warnings have been issued in areas of Japan following a strong earthquake::undefined
Why governments would ever use a private service for critical use baffles me.
Create your own emergency notification system!
NERV isnt owned by gov and:
Luckily, the creators of the NERV App, Gehirn Inc, have created an app-based alternative for users to get information in real-time, as well as running a Mastodon account.
Japan has various earthquake notification systems. Tweets are just one more way to get the information to the people on a platform they use.
Holy shit, didn’t know there is an actual Nerv created by an organisation named Gehirn. I mean, good what they are doing, just hope, that Gehirn doesn’t get around to do the instrumentality project. Otherwise we will get problems with angels
Why is a critical service like disaster precention using an unreliable service like Twitter?
Why not? Wouldn’t you want information going out on every available service? They likely have info going out on Facebook as well.
@L4s Just FYI the NERV app mentioned on the article is not government official. (Althought I believe it uses government oficial APIs for earthquake detection)
It’s almost like trying to run the world on social media was a shit tier idea.
Mastodon is a thing and they will own their instance.
Fun fact: Germany has a mastodon instance and is using it.
Great work Elon ! Now Twitter’s service has indirectly impacted the life of some people
