Isn't that what you are doing as well with your comment?

#44https://libredirect.github.io/ does this for many other services and has a good reputation
I'm using https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/ with a couple custom rules. Unfortunately, it appears the author has died ( https://github.com/einaregilsson/Redirector#tribute ), and the project is in a maintenance state. But it does exactly everything I need, and I disabled the auto-update, so I should be safe from any takeover attacks. Thank you, Einar.
Was going to mention Redirector too. Excellent tool/extension. Didn't know about Einar. It seems the next most prolific contributor has taken over maintenanceship. But, yeah, for time being works fine as is. (Didn't know tool was that old--has existed ~20y!--either.)

#45This is generally sad. People hate a service, but they depend on it so much they create whole codebases to cope with it. Depending on things we hate is a tragedy. How about just admitting the things you hate? Then you can just drop it and live a happier life. Unless you are of course somehow required/forced to use X, then I'm all for projects like these.
The idea that we can independently decide what to ignore in life is a fallacy I think. Not read regularly sure, but we need to know what's written on X in some cases when it could be important for news or politics.

#46I see that many of you still call it twitter. I get if it's a protest, but current X seems very unlike twitter, so I don't understand why it should be called by that name.

Somewhat related: more than half of my Firefox extensions are to fix YouTube (no shorts, no autoplay in playlists, more videos on the home page, no AI dubs or title translation (plus sponsorblock)). I don't hate it but I hate its progressive enshittification.
Though that's quite different from X; while the issues with YouTube are mostly plain old enshittification, the issues I have with X are more political (thus, I do hate it).

#50I also like to redirect ^https?://instagram.com/(.*) to https://imginn.com/$1 But I never trust extensions, I do it manually.
I didn't know about Imginn, so thanks!
