Tell HN: Slack decides to close down IRC and XMPP gateways
11:14 -!- Message of the day
Hello! We have news to share — we've decided it's
time to close down the IRC and XMPP gateways to Slack.
After years of evolving, Slack is at the point where
the gateways can no longer handle all of our features
or security needs.
If you've been using the gateways for accessibility
reasons, we're glad to let you know that it's now
possible to navigate Slack by keyboard and with a
screen reader — and we're making more improvements
on a continual basis.
Still, we know this is a disruptive change, and we
want to help with this transition in any way we can.
Please follow this link to learn more about the
upcoming changes:
