Hi there, i was just wondering, am i correct in observing that ephemetoot does not delete replies / mentions?

Thank you!

@notDavid do you mean posts by other users that are part of threads?

If so, that's correct. The Mastodon API (understandably) does not allow you to delete posts by other people. ephemetoot should delete all of your own posts according to your config settings, but can't delete other people's posts replying to or mentioning you.
