I'm just looking for the most reliable and safe way to download videos/gifs from twitter. Anyone have some suggestions?

I just use this site. idk if it's safe or not
twittervideodownloader.com

I use NotSoBot, set up an empty Discord server to add it to, and use the .dl command

jdownloader2, requires a twitter account sometimes for the cookies

how about yt-dlp
maybe xcancel.com works too

A very safe way is building a web extension for your browser that facilitates downloading any media assets that your browser comes across. You're writing the code, so the plugin would be harmless.
It would work like an adblock (it's a plugin that does something on the pages you're surfing to), and it would list all the videos and GIFs etc that the browser has loaded from the page, ideally letting you click to download each very easily.
It needs intermediate to advanced level coding skills.
I'm sure there are already some extensions that you could use as a base, for example this Chrome extension on github that I found now: https://github.com/rtcoder/Media-downloader

But that was created by someone else, so to fit your "safest" criterium you'd have to go through the code files and check that it's not malicious (since it's in the Chrome extensions store it's likely absolutely safe).

Anyone happen to know how to download all the media from a twitter acc? (only for one account) I've been using gallery-dl but it only downloads around 2gb max, probably because of twitter 3,000 request limit, I've been searching everywhere for days but haven't found anything yet

TwitterMediaHarvest

The request limit is probably tied to your twitter account, so just changing IPs (like using a VPN) won't work as the account you'll be scraping with will be the same.
I don't see a solution other than doing it day by day up to the limit, continuing from where you last stopped, until you've scraped the whole thing. The account you're scraping isn't infinite.
