Oh wow so they had 1.5 milion subscribers on Twitter but they have half a milion on Mastodon https://unnerv.jp/@UN_NERV I wasn't aware that Mastodon is that popular in Japan.
I wonder how much of that is recent / related to this service, and how much of it is from before. It's great to see different countries getting going with fediverse stuff.
I always thought it was weird when governments and institutions had to tiptoe around these tech giants. It makes so much more sense for them to host their own thing on their own infrastructure.
Nice to hear! That will probably climb further too, as more of the population signs up to get their earthquake alerts there
I assume it's mostly misskey.
