I feel like it would be so easy to say “we’ve heard your feedback and have updated our API agreement to clarify these use cases that people have expressed concerns about” instead of carving out case-by-case exceptions arbitrarily but that might require admitting that they messed this up in the first place. Then again, I don’t have a title as lofty as “VP of Communications and Social Impact” so what the hell do I know.

I believe you’re correct with this. All my strava activities that show up on my TR calendar are unedited and don’t have that greyed out bit. If my account weren’t private I believe the origin point for my rides/walks would be visible.

On the mountain bike side, heat maps make finding secret, new and otherwise off map trails trivial. People feel differently about if that’s a good thing or not.

This is my first post in months. I wanted to agree with you that stepping away from the social feeds or Strava can be beneficial to mental health, especially if you have to lighten the training load due to life (I’m also in a new career that scratches my competitive itch) and feel that FTP dropping daily!
I’m still paying for strava even though I have only ridden a handful of times this year. Mostly because many of my friends would compete on some longer segments and I like to see their progress. Strava was always a secondary concern compared to Trainer Road, Training Peaks, Zwift etc. If some of my friends drop off strava due to changes, it makes the segments worthless and I’ll drop it.

Been watching this thread with interest.
Just noticed (ok I’m slow and it sometimes takes a while for the penny to drop 
) that the sauce for Strava plugin I had on my MacBook for safari no longer appears to be working or visible?
Presume it’s a consequence of this decision 
I found that a really useful tool …

I use it on Chrome, and the release notes have indicated Strava has been making changes that interfere with Sauce’s operation, and I’ve noticed intermittent working / not working:

I guess we’ll have to give it a while to see if/how things settle down when Strava devs get fed up of breaking it.

just in case, you can turn this crap off. Click on the AI comment and leave the beta. Happy days

Afaik Garmin Connect does not work as a hub. If you record an activity with an Garmin device, you can sync it to others. Everything that is recorded otherwise and synced to Garmin will just stay there and not sync to a 3rd platform.

Just redid mine and it came in less than an hour. It’s a shame you have to wait a week to re-ask, but I totally understand why.

Activities from Zwift can be downloaded directly too. Although Zwift workouts automatically show up on Connect, but if you need the data for another app, you can get it.
Mine took until the next day, but I apparently have a lot of activities in Strava. 
When I was ‘free mode’, I usually never got the link.
I think you can edit the downloat address from http/…_tcx to http/…_fit . Or like I’ve done download the Strava Sauce app which lets you download .fit files.
This morning’s TR-recorded ride hasn’t shown up on Strava. Have the series of tubes connecting TR and Strava been officially closed off?
EDIT: Seems to be an isolated issue to something on my end. Nothing to see here, folks.
I will know in another 45 mins when I finish my Endurance ride this AM.

My ride earlier today was uploaded from TrainerRoad to Strava, no problem there.
