Describe the feature you'd like to see added
The alternative social media site are hardcoded in app/utils/filter_utils.py#L19

SITE_ALTS = {
    'twitter.com': 'nitter.net',
    'youtube.com': 'invidious.snopyta.org',
    'instagram.com': 'bibliogram.art/u'
}

I prefer other instances and always have to correct the file after an upstream update.

It would be great if this site could be configured/overridden via enviroment variables.
Like:

WHOOGLE_ALT_TWITTER=nitter.nixnet.services

Thanks for the amazing proxy!
