        Mastodon.py can try to respect rate limits in several ways, controlled by ratelimit_method.
        "throw" makes functions throw a MastodonRatelimitError when the rate
        limit is hit. "wait" mode will, once the limit is hit, wait and retry the request as soon
        as the rate limit resets, until it succeeds. "pace" works like throw, but tries to wait in
        between calls so that the limit is generally not hit (How hard it tries to not hit the rate
        limit can be controlled by ratelimit_pacefactor). The default setting is "wait". Note that
        even in "wait" and "pace" mode, requests can still fail due to network or other problems! Also

        The 'sensitive' boolean decides whether or not media attached to the post
        should be marked as sensitive, which hides it by default on the Mastodon
        web front-end.

        The visibility parameter is a string value and matches the visibility
        option on the /api/v1/status POST API endpoint. It accepts any of:
        'direct' - post will be visible only to mentioned users
        'private' - post will be visible only to followers
        'unlisted' - post will be public but not appear on the public timeline
        'public' - post will be public

        If not passed in, visibility defaults to match the current account's
        default-privacy setting (starting with Mastodon version 1.6) or its
        locked setting - private if the account is locked, public otherwise
        (for Mastodon versions lower than 1.6).

        The spoiler_text parameter is a string to be shown as a warning before
        the text of the status.  If no text is passed in, no warning will be
        displayed.

        Returns a toot dict with the new status.
