Mastodon toot client
Tip of the day
if using the toot command line client, you can toot the contents of a file.
Lets say 'text.txt' contains the following
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam
If you login to toot, then type
toot post < text.txt then the contents of that file will be posted to Mastodon.
