Slack gets rid of its X integration
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.
Most of that is already done, or is trivial considering they already support nested conversations with a depth of 1.
I can guarantee you this is not a technical decision, this is a UX decision.
They only added threading because teams added it. I hated it when it launched. Now I find it kinda useful, but if they were deeply nested things would undoubtedly get lost. Either way I don't think it's a technical limitations so much as it's a product design choice.
I don't know if deeper thread branching is a good idea. I'm already struggling to find Slack comments from people who are in multiple channels and DMs each with various threads off of a main comment
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.
