## Description

There are many benefits of using this plugin over the default Twitter embeds. Works
only for `/status/x` urls, no timelines or others.

 1. You do not have to worry about compromising your users privacy. No need to even
    think about GDPR …
 2. You even get server privacy because your server will no longer call Twitters oEmbed
    service to get the embed codes for `/status/` urls.
 3. The embeds become _your_ content. The tweets are injected into your HTML. No `<
    iframe>`s. No stupid JavaScript. They are are actually technically many not even“
    embeds” anymore.
 4. This means that you can style them the way you like. I included the Twitter light
    theme and the Pleroma dark theme from Nitter by default.
 5. Your embeds will stay up for as long as WP transients last, meaning deleted tweets
    will be stored on your site. This could be made permanent in theory.

No options yet, but you can use the `nextgenthemes/nitter-embeds/nitter-instance`
filter to change to your preferred Nitter instance.
