    let mastodon = match File::open("mastodon-data.toml") {
        Ok(mut file) => {
            let mut config = String::new();
            file.read_to_string(&mut config).unwrap();
            let data: Data = toml::from_str(&config).unwrap();

        },
        Err(_) => register(),
    };

    let you = mastodon.verify_credentials().unwrap();
