I agree in principle although I consider this script to be a tool of adversarial interoperability; it's purpose is to extricate information from twitter to lemmy. Also it doesn't actually interact with twitter directly, only with nitter front ends.

  • source
  • parent
  • context
  •  

    It adds copy and quote buttons to each tweet on nitter instances (eg: xcancel).

    Each button copies the tweet and formats it into commonmark markdown as used by Lemmy. Copy includes links to any attached videos or images.

    The formatted markdown is then copied to your clipboard.

    You can install it using a userscript browser extension such as Firemonkey or violentmonkey.

    The user script is available at Greasyfork.

    To add additonal nitter instances simply add the following line;

    // @match *://nitter.net/*

    Except with the url of the instance of your choice.
