As we all know, Musk has changed the name of twitter to x and subsequently the insert media button won't work until you manually change the URL from x.com to twitter.com. Can x.com also be added to the media button?
Twitter/x link intergration

This is just my take. If anything, Twitter/X integration should be made far more difficult, if not removed entirely. The feature is being overused/abused to such an extent that threads frequently resemble a Twitter/X aggregation feed with minimum to no original commentary and whose ugly formatting clashes horribly with the forum's calmer and more readable formatting. It's a feature that encourages minimum/zero effort information saturation and actively lowers the quality of the forum by providing an easy and direct channel to one of the great septic tanks of the internet.
In the same vein youtube/telegram are often utilized in the same way. At least twitter links are usually in English.

Embedded youtube/telegram links don't come remotely close to the horrible formatting of embedded tweets, which often take the form of mile-long vomits. See below for three examples. I mean, just look at them. It's nothing but low-effort information saturation, enabled by a few lazy clicks, and the end result is a messy, unreadable forum that is the internet equivalent of the and .
If it's too easy to do, then it will be abused.
I think these links will now be broken because twitter no longer redirects to x.com. Might want to add support in for tweets on x.com.
