         Post a status. Can optionally be in reply to another status and contain
         up to four pieces of media (Uploaded via media_post()). media_ids can

+        The visibility parameter is a string value and matches the visibility
+        option on the /api/v1/status POST API endpoint. It accepts any of:
+        '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
+        privacy setting (private if the account is locked, public otherwise).
