Private Twitter Embeds with Nitter Reviews, Downloads & Maintenance

There are many benefits of using this plugin over the default Twitter embeds. Works only for /status/x urls, no timelines or others.

You do not have to worry about compromising your users privacy. No need to even think about GDPR …
You even get server privacy because your server will no longer call Twitters oEmbed service to get the embed codes for /status/ urls.
The embeds become your content. The tweets are injected into your HTML. No </code>s. No stupid JavaScript. They are are actually technically many not even “embeds” anymore.</li> <li>This means that you can style them the way you like. I included the Twitter light theme and the Pleroma dark theme from Nitter by default.</li> <li>Your embeds will stay up for as long as WP transients last, meaning deleted tweets will be stored on your site. This could be made permanent in theory.</li> </ol> <p>No options yet, but you can use the <code>nextgenthemes/nitter-embeds/nitter-instance</code> filter to change to your preferred Nitter instance.</p> </div></div></div></div></section><section id="installation" class="scroll-mt-24"><div class="overflow-hidden rounded-2xl border border-gray-200 bg-white/80 shadow-sm backdrop-blur
