Japan prefectures drift away from posting disaster warnings on X

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I 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.
I 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 :)
They have one now at social.overheid.nl which they seem to test at the moment. They have a few accounts such as Belastingdienst, KNMI, Rijkswaterstaat, MinBZK so I hope they’ll continue after the experiment phase is over.
Yeah i hope so too!
