IMHO I don't think this is a fair title change. What is important here is the fact that access to DMs have changed. Not that the general import/export tools have changed.

If Google changed their TOS to suddenly make everyone's search history public, would the title read "Google changes TOS"?



I agree, and this is the first time I can ever recall disagreeing with one of HN's admin title corrections that I noticed.


Even "Slack changes DM import/export" would be a better title. This current title I find to actually be almost completely unacceptable.


This confused me as well, especially after coming back to it after the change. I had assumed some other Slack post went up and received equally or greater activity than the original post.


Yes, especially because I read the comments when the title was more accurate and came back thinking this was a new submission.

This is a completely irrelevant title.


I thought this was a totally new item, a lot of the comments don't make sense without the old title


Agreed, and all the past comments are about this one specific controversial change.
