Slack gets rid of its X integration::Slack has retired its integration with X (formerly Twitter) because of X’s API changes introduced earlier this year. It’s just one of many useful apps that used Twitter’s data that’s now gone.
I still haven’t had to update a Twitter logo on a website yet. We’ve had it come up for 3 clients so far, and they’ve all just decided to drop it. You love to see it.
I don’t blame them, it’s a bit like having a swastika on your website.
As a developer, I’ve only had people request removal of Twitter. They’d rather lose the bird than add an X.
A bird in the hand is worth….very little apparently
This is great news!
🎉🎉🎉
Didn’t even know they had it
Can they add Lemmy-style threaded replies? It’s dumb that thread depth is fixed at 1. We had infinitely threaded replies way back in the BBS days, it isn’t exactly a new feature.
But it’s really hard to add one new database column that’s just a single foreign key. That would take, like, a few minutes of work.
Which BBS systems did you use? The ones I used (which mostly ran Renegade) didn’t have branching threads; we’d just quote whichever message we were replying to.
…X, formerly Twitter…
Still waiting for when articles don’t feel the need to add that in.
