stopthatgirl7Japan prefectures drift away from posting disaster warnings on X
A growing number of prefectures have stopped posting disaster warnings on the platform due to limits on the number of free posts allowed.
johannesI never understood why official goverment body’s do that anyway. Maintaining your own infra means you have full control. This should be mandatory for any government body. Not beeing dependant on big tech who make up silly rules as they please.
infectoidI think most govt bodies do both.
They run and report on their own infrastructure and also report wherever else the masses are.
Really makes sense for govts to start running their own mastodon instances I reckon.
i read an article a few weeks ago that said that our (the Netherlands) government is working on its own Mastodon instance, i hope they actually pull through with that :)
The German government also has its own instance: social.bund.de/public/local
Also here’s the instance of the European Union: social.network.europa.eu/public/local
And the European Union even has a Peertube instance: tube.network.europa.eu/videos/local?c=true&s=…
