# Simple toot deleter for Mastodon
[This simple PHP script](https://github.com/KEINOS/Mastodon_Simple-Toot-Deleter/blob/master/delete_toot.php) deletes **all** your toots from your Mastodon instance.
## TL;DR
[Copy the script](https://github.com/KEINOS/Mastodon_Simple-Toot-Deleter/blob/master/delete_toot.php), edit and fill out the [settings in the source code](https://github.com/KEINOS/Mastodon_Simple-Toot-Deleter/blob/master/delete_toot.php#L39-L49) and run.
It worked on macOS and RaspbianOS.
## TS;DR
### How to use (Detail)
1. Go to your Mastodon account settings and create an access_token.
1. Create a new PHP file. (ex: `delete_toot.php`)
1. Copy and paste [the source](https://github.com/KEINOS/Mastodon_Simple-Toot-Deleter/blob/master/delete_toot.php).
1. Don't forget to `chmod` the script file as executable. (ex: `$ chmod 0755 delete_toot.php`)
1. Run the script once and it will create a JSON file for user settings.
`$ php delete_toot.php`
1. Then edit the JSON file and change the values below.
- `scheme` -> ex. https
- `host` -> ex. qiitadon.com
- `access_token` -> Get it from your instance's settings.
Optional:
- `id_skip` -> Set toot IDs to skip deleteing.
- `time_sleep` -> Must be more than 1. The bigger the slower.
- `id_account` -> Leave it blank then the script will auto fill.
1. Run the script again and wait until it's done.
Note1 : To **run it background** [see below](#running-the-script-in-background).
Note2 : Don't forget to delete 'nohup.out' file after finish.
### How do I get the access token?
1. Open your Mastodon account settings.
1. Go to "> Development" setting and open "Your applications".
1. Create "NEW APPLICATION" with the settings below.
- Application name : Any name you want and easy to notice.
- Application website : Any web site, may be this GitHub page.
- Redirect URI : Leave it as is.
- Scopes : Check all.
Note: Don't forget to delete this application entry after use. (For sureness)
### Why it's slow?
This script deletes 1 toot/second by default because of the Mastodon's access limitation.
Since there's an access time limitation to use the API and if you request more than 300 authorized requests in 5 minutes ( 1 authorized request per second) / account, you'll get a "Too many request" error. Therefore this script is slow.
- [See the current limit threshold](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/blob/921b78190912b3cd74cea62fc3e773c56e8f609e/config/initializers/rack_attack.rb#L48-L50).
### Running the script in background
```
$ # Check the current PID to compare
$ ps
$
$ # Run the script in background then press Ctrl+c to exit
$ nohup php ./delete_toot.php &
$
$ # Recheck the PID to see if the script is running
$ ps
$
$ # See the progress to check
$ tail -f nohup.out
```
