Describe the feature you'd like to see added
It would be nice if we could activate an option to transform all "twitter.com" links to "nitter.net", "youtube.com" to "invidio.us", "maps.google.com" to "openstreetmaps.org" and "instagram.com" to "bibliogram.art" (or any instance of preference from users).

Describe which parts of the project this would modify (/app/filter.py)
I think "filter.py" should be modified (I may be wrong as I'm not very familiarized with the project). Maybe a string.replace("service.bad", "service.good") would do as (at least invidious and nitter) share the exact same links with their respective pairs (eg. twitter.com/Snowden/status/... == nitter.net/Snowden/status/... and same for invidio.us)

Additional context
Those services fully respect the privacy from users and allow them to navigate through those privative networks.

This is a great idea. I'll work to implement this in the next release. Thanks for the suggestion!
