Rachael L<p>Has anyone written any (command-line) mastodon scripts for doing something like skeeter-deleter (<a href="https://github.com/Gorcenski/skeeter-deleter" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/Gorcenski/skeeter-d</span><span class="invisible">eleter</span></a>) for mastodon? Basically I don't want the automatic deletion because I want to control what stays and goes and also want to archive as I go. DuckDuckGo and other searches are predictably not great since the most common results are about migration or using the automatic delete functionality. <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/mastodonhelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mastodonhelp</span></a></p>
