Social Terminal Tools
Social tools in the terminal are clients for the places people post: Mastodon and the wider Fediverse, Bluesky, Reddit, Hacker News, Twitch chat, Discord and Matrix.
They read timelines, post and reply, follow chat as it arrives and look up accounts across several networks at once, driven from the keyboard against the same public APIs the official apps use. Running in a terminal also means they keep working over an SSH session, and that a client for one network sits next to a client for another. Private one to one messaging is covered in messaging.
