Twitter

While Twitter is transitioning to the new name for the platform, "X", a large part of its own documentation still uses the name "Twitter". In this document, we are trying to keep up with changes and have changed the name to X where possible in our codebase. However, the twitter functionality and documentation may change and in some cases differ in use of the name even in URLs and code.
