THE POWERFAV BUG HAS BEEN CLOSED AS NOT PLANNED TO BE FIXED

Notification flooding · Issue #4118 · mastodon/mastodon

If user A repeatedly faves and unfaves a post by user B, user B's notification feed will be flooded by notifications. This happens on whatever version mastodon.social is currently running. I searched or browsed the repo’s other issues to...

GitHub (github.com)

it went from being high priority to being not high priority to being not even a bug and it's only taken seven years and four months for the project to decide they just don't care to fix it.

POWERFAV FOREVER

@djsundog ok *to be fair* that history log is bc

- the priority labels were removed/deleted entirely
- the “bug” label was migrated to the “bug” category
- “not planned” is github language that includes “stale” and even “duplicate”

but yeah the “closing bc unsupported” is bad framing. that one doesn’t have an excuse, that was a direct action.

speaking of which: can you fav and unfav this like 20 or 100 times so i can verify and reopen

@djsundog thanks, got the screenshot!

@trwnh haha, right on - thank! and your points are fair, I just no longer feel any desire to be fair to eugen's mismanagement.

@djsundog entirely valid yeah

fwiw from what i can confirm at least as of current code -- the notifications column part has been fixed, but the desktop push notifications part has not

@trwnh I'd put my money on the notification column fix coming with the notification grouping code that dropped recently-ish - I definitely was still getting the occasional powerfav from loving mufos before that feature landed.

@djsundog seems like a reasonable bet!

@djsundog i spoke too soon, it seems,
