Support for X/Twitter

[dunossauro]

Hello @claromes, thanks for this wonderful project that I use all day <3

With Twitter's recent (or not-so-recent) policy changes, it's no longer possible to view posts without being logged in. Could you add support for redirecting to X (Twitter) in socialswitch?

A possible solution could be to integrate redirection to a Nitter instance as an alternative, allowing users to bypass the login requirement, such as xcancel(dot)com or nitter(dot)net. The redirection would be quite simple – for example, changing a URL like:

x(dot)com/user/status/id

to

xcancel(dot)com/user/status/id

by just replacing the domain with the Nitter instance.

Thanks for considering this feature request!

Hey @dunossauro, I never considered adding a Nitter instance because they’re generally unstable (when I created this extension, the official instance was down). My focus has been on using stable viewers.

But I can definitely add that option. I've used another service sotwe.com a few times., so I can include it along with the two instances you suggested. I have a PR open to adjust some services and release v2, so I’ll include those options there.

I plan to release it in may.
