#MastoHelp Trying to reduce the size of our database and thinking about using ‘tootctl statuses remove’. Can anybody explain what it will do exactly with pros and cons? (I’ve read the docs already). #MastoAdmin #Mastodon

`tootctl statuses remove` removes posts that haven't been interacted with -- different than the content retention setting for posts, which removes posts even if they've had interaction (like if a user on your instance favorited, boosted or bookmarked it).

I wrote a script to do some maintenance on my instances, maybe helpful?
