@ClearlyClaire@mastodon.social 🙄 Unbelievable. Using Mastodon I can vote in a poll from the latest copy of Misskey. Using Misskey I can vote in a poll from the latest copy of Mastodon. Sharkey breaks something and your solution is that Mastodon must fix something.

@NetscapeNavigator@social.vivaldi.net @ppb1701@ppb.social I fail to see how the poll having no expiration date is “break[ing] something”. The ActivityStreams spec does not mandate—or specify at all, for that matter—an expiration date for a poll. https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#questions And it is blatantly unreasonable to interpret an absent expiration date on a poll, absent any other evidence of its having expired, as meaning “expires immediately”. So no, this is a bug in both Mastodon and Misskey. @ClearlyClaire@mastodon.social
