Japan 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.

The Japan Times
Did they chose an alternative?
Mastodon

No, they haven’t. 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.

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.
