Testing Mastodon from the command line using the program called "toot". Looks and functions very slick. Not that I expected it to not function, but there is one unexpected thing about it! See, as everyone else on Fediverse, I have been putting ALT text on my pictures in order to make this social media more accessible. However, by accessible I always thought of legally blind people. But now that I am in a CLI Mastodon program I came to fully appreciate everyone's effort on ALT texting. You rock.
@s31bz OK, my first recording of my first reply to you did not succeed because I was on Wayland. Hopefully my X11 screen recorder will manage this time. Give me a couple of seconds more.
EDIT: Injecting video via Mastodon webpage hehe. (Sorry, I didn't know it was recording my microphone, LEL)
@darth I havent tried Toot, but have used @tut in the past on a raspberrypi.
Using cli with mastodon feels right at home for me, and I agree about Alt Text- it really makes me consider if I want to go the extra step of loading the photo (in most cases it just "evidences" the post, so i don't bother)
