Fix Twitter/X Support #34

Closed greenwoodma closed 6 months ago

greenwoodma commented 6 months ago

As of sometime this morning if you visit twitter.com it automatically redirects you to x.com. This means that the plugin will no longer collect any tweets because the domain we check is no longer the one being used.

This PR simply updates references to Twitter and twitter.com to be X and x.com (including renaming the module and platform icon) which allows the plugin to work as normal.

Thanks @greenwoodma! Changing the module ID is unfortunately not trivial since 4CAT expects it to be a certain value. I've opted to implement this in a backwards compatible way in the main branch. We'll soon release a new version with the changes implemented so it is compatible with x.com once more.
