I always marvel at how long `tootctl self-destruct` takes to run.Aha, so it's doing batches of 50 accounts at a time, and then waiting for the entire sidekiq queue to empty before doing another batch of 50.
Making the instance bigger so I can run more sidekiq workers, I guess...

I always marvel at how long `tootctl self-destruct` takes to run.And I thought the Sidekiq queue was just about empty... and it refilled. Doh!
The accounts pending deletion went down ... by 50 ... since nearly 2 hours ago. That's gonna take days at that rate.
