Removal of Facebook and Twitter login options

By Lemon - Apr 28, 2024

Some time in the next month I will be removing the Facebook and Twitter login options from our site. If you are using these login options currently but no longer remember your password, you can use the "Reset Password" feature.

Reason for removing these

These login methods were plagued with bugs due to their constantly changing APIs. They add a lot of development overhead to maintain them. Facebook in particular is a major annoyance with their policy changing and forcing me to change layout of our app. They also constantly randomly block things without warning.

Going forward, we will only support logging in with your username/email and password. In the future, I may reconsider adding social logins again.

Sounds good, absolutely nothing wrong with the good ol' username/email login approach!

Great. I try not to use Facebook logins wherever possible.

Thank you for the notification! Indeed, Facebook is a big irritator in other application areas as well.
