Tootctl clearing is a method of purging old posts or media which originated on other servers and have never been interacted with by anyone on the server doing the clearing - the posts have never been Favorited, Boosted, Bookmarked, or replied to by users on that server.

Imagine a small server that's well connected to the rest of the Fediverse - seeing and storing thousands of posts per day while their users only make or interact with dozens to hundreds per day. Now imagine all that chaff keeps building up day after day, month after month, year after year. That's the Mastodon software default.
