More #bitlbee developments (i.e. the bitlbee-mastodon plugin): we should finally have better control over toot visibility. There's a default setting per account, commands to post new toots using a non-default visibility, and replies use the visibility of the toot you are replying to, or your default, whichever is stricter. Testing appreciated. 😜

Make sure you test the *develop* branch!
