# Usage
You can use this script to delete toots that are older than a certain number of days. By default it will keep any pinned toots, but you can change that in `congif.py` if you want them to be deleted. You can also make a list toots that you want to save, by adding the ID numbers to the `toots_to_save` list in `config.py` (see point 9 below). The ID of a toot is the last part of its individual URL. e.g. for https://ausglam.space/@hugh/101294246770105799 the id is `101294246770105799`

8. If you do **not** wish to keep all pinned toots regardless of age, change `save_pinned` to `False`
9. If there are any other toots you want to keep, put the ID numbers (without quotes) in the `toots_to_save` list, separated by commas. For example:
`toots_to_save = [100029521330725397, 100013562864734780, 100044187305250752]`

10. Run the script with `python3 ephemetoot.py`. Depending on how many toots you have and how long you want to keep them, it may take a minute or two before you see any results.
11. To run automatically every day try using crontab:
