uh does anyone know how to delete a broken toot from the postgres database

okay, for posterity: delete from statuses where account_id = <id> and <condition>;

also wow it's scary to do surgery on the live database

@noiob gosh yeah. even with backups!

i always hesitate before doing it, even if that was preceded by all the selects i needed to be totally sure that i'm doing the right thing
