why did @Tone Soprone make it so that the twitter embeds dont work?

I'll let Claude explain:

Twitter/X embeds aren't as simple as they might seem — they require loading and executing Twitter's external JavaScript widget (widgets.js), which introduces a bunch of complexity: script injection, iframe rendering, authentication with Twitter's API, and handling their rate limits and content policies. It's not just dropping in an <img> tag or an <iframe> with a static URL — their embed system is a whole runtime that needs to load and execute client-side.

There are also considerations around performance (loading third-party JS on every page with an embed), privacy (Twitter tracks users through their widgets), and the fact that X has been increasingly restrictive with their API and embed access.

also even if it was easy, would I want my platform to just be a twitter sharing app?

what about fixvx embeds?

And it is fun to share tweets as well sometimes. Without forcing people to leave the website.
