Question: Mass- and auto-deleting posts
JayVii opened this issue · 3 comments
Is there a way to delete old posts by a SQL-query? Are they gone, when they are deleted from the database or are more steps necessary?
Unfortunately I do not quite get what the deletion class in ktistec actually does.
@JayVii i'd like to consolidate this into #77
i think they cover the same concern. generally you could just use SQL to delete a bunch of old posts, and the server should just work correctly (and if it doesn't i'm happy to fix that). however, i think there's a more graceful solution to trimming the database that preserves the things you might want preserved (posts with a hashtag you're particularly interested in, for example).
(the Delete class just represents the ActivityPub Delete activity, which transmits actor and object deletions between federated instances. it doesn't do any deleting.)
