**ephemetoot** is a Python command line tool for deleting old toots.
|
|
|
|
## Quickstart
|
|
|
|
You should have Python3 and pip installed, and an app access token on hand. More detail information is available in [the docs](https://ephemetoot.hugh.run)
|
|
|
|
Install with pip:
|
|
```shell
|
|
pip install ephemetoot
|
|
```
|
|
Create a config file:
|
|
```shell
|
|
ephemetoot --init
|
|
```
|
|
Do a first run in `--test` mode:
|
|
```shell
|
|
ephemetoot --test
|
|
```
|
|
Find out about other options:
|
|
```shell
|
|
ephemetoot --help

```

## Prior and related work
|
|
The initial `ephemetoot` script was based on [this tweet-deleting script](https://gist.github.com/flesueur/bcb2d9185b64c5191915d860ad19f23f) by [@flesueur](https://github.com/flesueur)
|
|
|
|
`ephemetoot` relies heavily on the Mastodon.py package by [@halcy](https://github.com/halcy)
|
|
|
|
Looks like [Gabriel Augendre had the same idea](https://git.augendre.info/gaugendre/cleantoots). You might prefer to use Gabriel's `cleantoots` instead.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
You can use `ephemetoot` to delete [Mastodon](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon) toots that are older than a certain number of days (default is 365). Toots can optionally be saved from deletion if:
|
|
* they are pinned; or
|
|
* they include certain hashtags; or
|
|
* they have certain visibility; or
|
|
* they are individually listed to be kept
|
|
|
|
## Contributing
