MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Slack has retired its integration with X (formerly Twitter) because of X’s API changes introduced earlier this year.
According to Slack, X’s API changes affected the functionality of the integration, which led to the decision to retire it.
“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,” Rod Garcia, Slack’s VP of software engineering, said in a statement to The Verge.
The retirement means that Slack’s X integration is just one of many useful things relying on X / Twitter data that has gone away because of the changes instituted under Elon Musk’s ownership.
In January, X banned third-party apps, which my former colleague Mitchell Clark argued made the site what it is today.
When asked for comment, X’s press email replied with its recent standard auto-reply: “Busy now, please check back later.”

What an absolute poop show
To be fair, if I was stuck pooping for over a year like X I would also have that set as my auto-reply 🤷
