# fedidel
`fedidel` is a bot that tracks and auto-deletes on Mastodon/Pleroma accounts according to a set maximum age. Tracking multiple instances simultaneously is possible. It will permanently retain statuses favourited by the account that posted them. Reblogs are treated as favourites and are permanently retained. Once a status is flagged for retention, the bot will not check it again.
