X’s API changes are to blame.

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.

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.
