@freemo is there a way to delete all my past posts? This is something I do for twitter and I'm curious of such a feature exists for mastodon
@DavidBond i know you can delete your account, which takes the posts with it. But I dont think you can delete just the posts. You'd have to delete your account then reclaim it then your posts would be wiped.
@freemo ah ok.
Look into mastodon.py - it doesn't provide exactly what you're asking for, but it exposes the tools you'd need to script a solution yourself.
.py is the file extension for Python scripts, not the TLD of a URL. :)
Here's the [software](https://github.com/halcy/Mastodon.py) and here's the [documentation](https://mastodonpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/).
I wouldnt go that far... you could probably figure it out without too much difficulty. Would save you a lot of time too.
If you want i could probably do it quicker for you as a moderator then you can manually.
@khird
youll have to install python at a minimum... might need a hand if you never worked with a python script. Be careful.
