article headline: Japan Earthquake Alert App Says Sayonara to X

cross-posted from: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/333398

Many people in Japan depend on the NERV service for earthquake alerts. Unfortunately, they'll no longer be able to receive them on X.

How is it an app if it requires twitter or mastadon? Wouldn't the app provide the alerts??

An app doesn't come with it's own server set up and done. I'm guessing the precursor to the app was the twitter feed (using sms even at the start?).
