    Create your own emergency notification system!

    Those never turn out well.

    Running their own mastodon instance should be viable though.

      Is Mastodon even viable for time sensitive information? You need to wait for your instance to propagate the post from their instance which can take time.

          I’d suggest they join a system that has users, proper SLA and an open frontpage.

          As much as you might like Mastodon for being open, there are no SLA between instances. Bluesky or Threads likely do.

          Not saying they shouldn’t start their own Mastodon, but not for emergency and time sensitive things. Or just for people who can’t access those other services. More options also mean more reach.

      I remember seeing that they did have a fediverse account? This seems related to that

      Yup see here:

      It’s also in the article linked above:

      Luckily, the creators of the NERV App, Gehirn Inc, have created an app-based alternative for users to get information in real-time, as well as running a Mastodon account.
