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.
The majority of companies who use Slack (over the likes of Teams) are tech-oriented companies made mid last decade.
Making a Twitter scrapper that pushes to a webhook would take half a day and would cost essentially zero if you just toss it in a random cloud cluster and forget about it. And if you don’t have that scale, then you likely have a team leader somewhere who will run it on a machine of their own out of spite.
And scrappers are way more wasteful for the target webhost.
This change hurts literally nobody other than Felon. Good.
