p.s. I've never edited a poll wording before, did not know it resets it without warning.

Really sorry to everyone who voted, thank you for taking part.

I'll try to add an issue about this to the github and put a warning about this on https://fedi.tips

UPDATE: If anyone's interested, there's already an issue about this on Github at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/24997

I have often wondered that, and now you did the research for me.

Unfortunate situation, great moving forward with the outcome.

@feditips

It actually stands to reason; people often find after they publish a poll that they could have worded a question or option better, then try, then discover that the meaning of the question or option now takes on a new defining intent - that's unacceptable manipulation, whether intentional or not.

When you start a DM, #Mitra won't let you add/remove addressees; last time I checked, mastodon will - it shouldn't that's a potential breech of privacy & security.

@feditips It makes sense…someone could start a poll asking if people were for or against Puppies….then edit the poll to for or against Nazis….

For the record, I’m pro Puppy, anti Nazi.
