Oh, cool. What's replacing them?
Just a "normal" http API as far as I know. There won't be any live notifications/data on release but this can be added using polling at a later stage. It was mainly done because websockets just don't scale well at all with thousands of users.
Yeah, that was my concern. Sounds good to me!
The live posts and notifications are definitely cool but I know it would be challenging to make it both useful and scalable.
Normal http requests for on-demand content, likely polling for live-updating content.
