ephemetoot 3.2.1

A command line tool to delete your old toots

🥳 ==> 🧼 ==> 😇

As Mastodon now has similar functionality built in, ephemetoot is now in maintenance mode - no new features will be added, only security updates.

Prior work

The initial ephemetoot script was based on this tweet-deleting script by @flesueur

ephemetoot relies heavily on the Mastodon.py package by @halcy

Usage

You can use ephemetoot to delete 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

There are various options controlling timing, scheduling, and output.

Run from the command line with ephemetoot.

Run ephemetoot --help or read the docs for all options.

Contributing
