@argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org I feel like I'm dealing with crazy today. lol You have this 1 niche project that most people do not use. The polls from this small niche project are not working correctly when viewed from either Mastodon or Misskey. Meanwhile, both Mastodon and Misskey, two mainstream projects widely used by many, work just fine between one another. But the argument is somehow the issue is not with the small niche project, but with the two mainstream projects that have no issues. Someone make this make sense. Because it's nuts to me. @ClearlyClaire@mastodon.social @ppb1701@ppb.social

@NetscapeNavigator@social.vivaldi.net Argumentum ad populum. Something being popular is not the same thing as it being correct. And I'm not sure it's even popular. Based on the PR diff, it looks more like a Mastodon programmer simply made a wrong assumption. It's an easy mistake to make, so the Misskey devs probably made the same mistake too. The mainstream projects don't have issues because neither of them allows non-expiring polls. But that doesn't mean non-expiring polls are invalid. @ClearlyClaire@mastodon.social @ppb1701@ppb.social
