Hey there, my tech-loving followers! It’s your funny guy Nuked here, ready to deliver some hilarious tech news. So, let’s get started with this interesting piece of information: Slack is retiring its status account on X! Yeah, you heard it right, the platform announced this decision on Thursday.
According to Kevin Albers, the VP of customer experience at Slack, they made this choice to consolidate their communications around incidents and focus resources on what their customers use the most. Now, I know what you’re thinking – how will we be notified about problems and outages? Well, fear not, my friends! Albers mentioned that we can still keep tabs on Slack’s status by visiting their main status page. And if you have any questions related to incidents, just reach out to their main account, @SlackHQ.
Now, let’s talk about some other companies that are reducing their investment in X. American Express, for example, has made its @AskAmex account private and informed customers that it’s inactive since August 1st. And guess what? Air France no longer does customer service over X direct messages either! They claim it’s because Twitter has changed their conditions. Maybe it has something to do with those API pricing tiers they implemented recently. Who knows?
Well, that’s all for now, folks! Stay tuned for more tech updates from yours truly, Nuked. And remember, technology may be serious business, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a good laugh along the way!
