Since when it's a problem to showcase your work on HN? Also the service is free for the majority of users. Only big accounts have to pay because processing huge list is heavy.

We love Bluesky! This tool is for people who like to clean up footprints of their online presence some time to time, no to get rid of it (no needs for a new tool for that).

That was humoristic but I guess it's not obvious for everybody.

Hi HN, I'm Pierre!

Byesky is a toolbox I created last year for cleaning up your Bluesky account, or erasing it altogether:

- Unfollow the accounts that don't follow you back, or unfollow everyone except the ones you lock

- Disappearing posts: tag a post #vanish (or #) and it gets deleted after a delay you pick

- Weekly auto-clean, and a list of who unfollowed you

- Nuke my account: deletes everything you ever created

- And more to come!

How it works: you log in with Bluesky's own OAuth (ATProto), so Byesky never sees your password. The web app only queues jobs. Background workers do the deleting, and when Bluesky's rate limit kicks in, a job pauses and picks up where it left off once the limit resets. A big account is tens of thousands of deletions, so a full cleaning tasks run for a long time with a progress screen.

The basics are free for accounts with up to 5,000 follows and followers.

To help me cover server costs, a Plus subscription (€3/month) covers bigger accounts and adds the heavier tools, including the nuke.

I'm finally doing a proper launch au the tool and I'd love feedback, especially from anyone who has left a social network and wished they'd had this!
