Gregory's Server@darius interesting! i know APIs change but usually see them do it in deprecation phases giving developers plenty of notice to update things, and even then offer the previous API for a while. but it's been a while since i was a part of that world. has this changed?

@darius is this also the case for very fundamental things like querying basic profile info like bio and other such links?  @NervousGamedev it can be! any way you slice it this kind of coordination is a big difficult problem all around |
@NervousGamedev Facebook is notorious for changing things with deprecation periods that are very hard to work with, or not communicating deprecation well. Twitter in 2018 changed the way their entire streaming API worked, published docs saying "the new API will provide similar functionality", and then there was a ~1 year gap between old and new API. I've heard similar re: other services
