Remove all vxTwitter mentions in README

Closed this issue · 4 comments

I only say this because at the time of this post, i notice that all the urls for twitter.com i got bookmarked now show it as X(dot)com......and dear god i hate that its truly a permanent thing now.

I'm not saying to rename the entire project here, but since the [REDACTED] at [REDACTED] have chosen to push this as a permanent thing, vxTwitter now no longer works in discord for embed reasons. the vxtwitter links still redirect to twitter (I REFUSE TO CALL IT X ELON, AND I WILL DIE ON THAT HILL IF I MUST), only fixvx works now. Also, slightly unrelated, but apparently the entire website refuses to work if i have enhanced tracking protection turned on for it in firefox, so YAY, another unwanted and stupid change they forced through :D (said no one ever)

Big thx ❤️❤️❤️

but apparently the entire website refuses to work if i have enhanced tracking protection turned on for it in firefox

this is firefox correctly blocking links to certain twitter domains (abs.twitter.com) via a third party as intended. they do warn you it will break sites and this is just now one of them until someone fixes the whitelist or twitter eng

actually turns out they added it an hour ago lol

but yeah this is the stuff that causes twitter embeds to not load on just about any site if you have tracking protection

not entirely true as I know people just macro it rather than typing it.
I've seen screenshots like this

as well as projects like https://github.com/viperrnya/TwitVx-Extension that add the domain to the share menu of the website

vxtwitter.com links are still functional, and to avoid breaking old links I will still keep it as an option for allowing embeds

yeah, i just tested it ouyt for myself and saw it still works, my bad

I was running off of an empty tank with a splitting headache plus a dog that kept playing the "go outside/want inside" game. ignore this thread as a result of my Nat 1 Perception check
