Using Mastodon from the command line
The Right Application
Although still in development, toot already stands out as a well-designed application. Its commands are logical, consistent, and well-documented, especially for a project still in the early stages of development. If you are unfamiliar with Twitter or Mastodon, you should have few problems learning the basics. If you are familiar with either, you may be able to guess the command you need with surprising accuracy. In fact, ironically, after working with toot from the command line, I found the curses interface more difficult to use. Considerable thought has gone into toot. In light of recent events at Twitter, it may just be the right application at the right time.
