    I don't know what Facebook hopes to gain by refusing to interoperate with other services, but I wouldn't be surprised if this backfired.

      Don't know if you saw but TLA has an update now: so it looks like this wasn't really expected 100%. (also mods might want to update title to reflect this change or at least mention there's an update)

      Don't know if you saw but TLA has an update now:

      (Update: Axios has a post explaining why the cross-posted tweets disappeared. Essentially, Twitter deleted its app from Facebook after Facebook stopped allowing cross-posts earlier this month, since without that feature it was basically useless. This unexpectedly caused old posts to disappear. TechCrunch also heard from a source with understanding of the situation that the deletion of the app took Facebook by surprise, as well as the fact that Twitter didn’t immediately tell them to restore the content.)

      so it looks like this wasn't really expected 100%. (also mods might want to update title to reflect this change or at least mention there's an update)
