Settings to periodically delete messages

• [ ] Delete messages after a certain amount of time (e.g. to delete all messages that are at least a month old periodically). This should have a hard minimum (perhaps half an hour or whatever) so that messages don't disappear while being conversed.
• [ ] Delete all but the most recent (N) messages. Hard minimum should probably be 10+, or just greater than zero.

Another option would be to delete everything but the latest N messages?

What would be the use case for this?

^ this is true. We could bring this along as some kind of example bot user, when those become a thing?

[towerofnix]

That's true, too; a good test of the API.

(Obviously there'll need to be a way to fetch messages older than a particular date; but this was needed anyways, for jumping to a messages from specific date.)
