Mastodon Deletion Features

Specific content types

For Mastodon deletions, we support Posts, Reblogs, Replies and Favorites. All four are selected by default, so untick any type you want to keep.

Delete Mastodon activity by date range

Deletion can be specified by Start Date (Only delete after this date) or End Date (Only delete before this date), pressing the calendar icon, you go straight to month selection by pressing the month ie April, pressing the title again Pick Month in 2021 will navigate to year selection. Clicking the Reset red text will delete all the date value for that field.

Delete Mastodon activity by Post contents

You can delete specific content by what the post contains. So for instance you could only delete posts that have an image in them, or posts that have a video. It works both ways too. Attributes to Preserve lets you keep any post with an image or a video in it while everything else gets deleted.

Delete according to post body or comment on Mastodon

Enter a phrase or group of words that Redact will search in the post body to be deleted. If you're looking to delete content with specific words in the post, this is where you specify it.

Delete according to hashtags

Enter a hashtag that Redact will search in the post body to be deleted. This is a easy way to delete anything mentioning a hashtag, for instance #sponsored or #ad .

Delete your entire Mastodon account history

To delete anything and everything on your Mastodon account, just skip the form, go straight to deletion mode, and click start deleting. Take note that content deletion is irreversible. This is recommended if you want to have a fresh Mastodon account rather than making a new one. If there is one thing you want to hang onto, tick Your pinned post under Additional Overrides and Redact will leave it alone while it clears out the rest.
