See https://meta.akkoma.dev/t/frequency-to-run-update-users-following-task/366

This is about a mix task that was added 4 years ago for a one-time clean-up. There may be others and it's not always properly documented.

What I think we should do

Remove the one-time mix tasks. They wont be relevant any more, and if they are, they should probably be a migration instead.
- Maybe note them in the changelog extra steps so that people with an instance that's old enough for this task to maybe have an impact, can choose to run it before upgrading. It needs to list each removed task + the date the task was introduced.
See if the ones who remain maybe need some better documentation on what they do and why they are there.

For this one I checked git blame, then looked up the commit on the pleroma gitlab and checked the MR there.
