Delete Reactions

Reaction cleanup is enabled by default in dmd clean.

Use --keep-reactions only when you want to opt out and keep your own reactions.

When the tool encounters a message in scope, it can remove reactions that belong to you if the message itself is not being deleted.

  • If a message will be deleted, its reactions are not treated as separate work items.
  • If a message is kept and reaction cleanup is active, your reactions on that message can still be removed.
  • Use --keep-reactions if you want kept messages to keep your reactions as well.
  • Reaction removal is always about your own reactions, not other users’ reactions.
Terminal window
dmd clean --include-ids <id> --dry-run

In dry-run mode, the summary shows both:

  • delete reactions=...
  • keep reactions=...

Default cleanup already covers both:

  • your message history
  • your reaction history

If you want to understand how the timing and summaries are presented, see Log Output.
