Did they choose 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.
Ah I see. I hope they consider Mastodon or something similar.
NERV? Like the agency from Evangelion? I’m not too familiar with any other abbreviation than that haha.
That’s where they got the name from, yup.
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.
