Toot(h)paste is a simple bash script to clean your Mastodon instance. It is basically a wrapper around tootctl but add some more logic, especially around accounts cull to detect instances in errors and purge them (expired certificate, cannot connect, etc.)

How to install

$ wget https://git.benpro.fr/benoit/tootpaste/raw/branch/main/tootpaste.sh \
  -O /tmp/tootpaste.sh
$ sudo install -m 755 -o root -g root /tmp/tootpaste.sh /usr/local/bin/tootpaste

By default it runs in dry-run mode. To run without dry-run:

$ DRY_RUN=false tootpaste
