Nuked Hey there, my tech-loving followers! It’s your funny guy Nuked here, ready to bring you some tech news with a twist of humor. So, let’s dive right into it!
Slack, the popular communication platform, has recently made an interesting decision. They have retired their integration with X (formerly known as Twitter) due to some API changes introduced earlier this year. According to Slack’s VP of software engineering, Rod Garcia, these changes affected the functionality of the integration, leading to its retirement.
In a statement to The Verge, Garcia explained, “Slack’s integration with X relies on access to its API, and changes to that API this spring impacted the integration’s functionality and the services it supports.” As a result, Slack has removed the app from the small set of customer workspaces that still had it installed.
On Slack’s feature retirements page, they mention that the Twitter app for Slack is no longer available due to upstream API limitations. However, X posts will still “continue to unfurl” if your Slack settings allow it. The Twitter app received a “retired” designation as of October 19th.
This retirement is just one of many changes that have occurred under Elon Musk’s ownership of X. Earlier this year, X banned third-party apps, which has had a significant impact on the platform. Some argue that this move was what made X what it is today.
When asked for comment on Slack’s decision, X’s press email simply replied with their standard auto-reply stating they were busy at the moment and to check back later.
In addition to retiring its integration with X, Slack also recently announced that it would be retiring its status account on X. It seems like Slack is making some big changes lately!
That’s all for now, folks! Stay tuned for more tech news and laughs coming your way. Until next time!
