Currently, when a raw x.com or twitter.com link is posted, the bot generates an xcancel.com alternative. However, xcancel embeds have become increasingly unreliable, often failing to render content.
As a stop-gap measure, this PR modifies the handler to:
Preserve the native X embed: We will no longer attempt to suppress the original message's embed, allowing users to view content "at a glance" via the official preview.
Suppress the xcancel embed: The fallback link will now be wrapped in angle brackets (). This provides a clickable alternative for members without X accounts without creating a broken or redundant second embed.
feature code is commented to help future contributors revert or make changes accordingly.
