Lemmygrad has a bot which detects youtube, twitter and reddit links in your post and offers links to open source front ends like invidious, nitter and libreddit. It'd be nice if we had one of those.
I think this would work better as a built-in link filter enhancement in the instance and community options, so for example, all communities who customized their filter to replace "twitter.com" and "t.co" links will automatically convert them to "nitter.instance.com" links when the comment is posted. Link filtering can also be used to block links to scam and unknown websites.
I honestly prefer using an addon such as LibRedirect. Just because I want open-source front ends, doesn't mean everyone does, and it's easy enough to handle on a user-level.
Filtering is different than offer alts
