I. Issues

1.1 Top 5 Active Issues:

We consider active issues to be issues that that have been commented on most frequently within the last week.

1. version 4.3, issues with two-factor authentication (2FA).: This issue pertains to problems with two-factor authentication (2FA) following an upgrade to version 4.3 of a Mastodon instance. Users who had previously enabled 2FA are unable to log in without disabling it via the command line, and attempts to re-enable 2FA through the web interface result in a "Backend Error" message, indicating potential issues with the new encryption keys and migration steps.

   • The comments reveal a back-and-forth discussion among users experiencing similar issues, with suggestions to verify migration steps and environment variables. Some users found success with provided scripts to reset 2FA, while others shared their upgrade experiences, highlighting the importance of not changing encryption keys post-migration.
   • Number of comments this week: 33

2. Add a way to filter posts that contain images with no alt text: This issue proposes the addition of a feature that would allow users to filter out posts containing images that lack alt text, aiming to enhance accessibility for visually impaired individuals. The motivation behind this request is to reduce the prevalence of images without descriptions across the Fediverse, thereby promoting more thoughtful posting practices among users.

   • The comments section features a robust discussion on the importance of alt text for accessibility, with various perspectives shared by users, including those who use screen readers and accessibility consultants. While some express support for the proposed filter, others raise concerns about its potential negative implications, such as encouraging discrimination against posts without alt text and the risk of generating poor-quality alt text. The conversation emphasizes the need for a balance between accessibility and user education regarding the importance of alt text.
   • Number of comments this week: 28

3. No longer any remote follows on instance, but inexplicable content from remote accounts still appearing in Federated timeline: This issue describes a problem where a user has unfollowed all remote accounts on their Mastodon instance, yet they continue to see unboosted posts from these accounts in their Federated timeline. The user is seeking clarification on whether Mastodon's federation system is functioning correctly, as they expected to only see remote posts that were boosted by local accounts.

   • The comments reveal a complex interaction regarding the unexpected appearance of remote posts in the user's timeline, with discussions about how posts can be pulled in through various interactions, including replies and pinned posts. The conversation also touches on potential issues with the Streams software, which may allow unwanted content to be delivered to the user's instance, leading to suggestions for blocking or suspending Streams accounts to regain control over the content displayed.
   • Number of comments this week: 26

4. Instance-wide filtering: This issue proposes the addition of an instance-wide filtering feature for admins to manage hashtags, words, phrases, and URLs to combat spam effectively. The motivation behind this request stems from a recent surge in automated spam attacks that overwhelm legitimate instances, prompting the need for a more robust filtering solution that balances moderation and user freedom.

   • The comments reflect a mix of support and concern regarding the implementation of instance-wide filters, with suggestions for opt-out options and alternative spam prevention methods. Participants discuss the potential for abuse of moderation power, the need for transparency in filtering actions, and the idea of automated tools to assist admins in managing spam more effectively.
   • Number of comments this week: 20

5. When a user creates an Appeal, no entry is made in the Instance Audit Log: This issue addresses the lack of an entry in the Instance Audit Log when a user appeals an account warning, which is a critical oversight in tracking moderation actions. The expected behavior is that the audit log should reflect the appeal with a specific message indicating that the user has appealed the account warning, but currently, no such entry is recorded.

   • The comments discuss the need for an audit log entry for user appeals, with suggestions for improving the user search functionality in the admin interface. There is a consensus on the importance of logging appeals and a plan to implement a simple text form for user searches, while also considering security and functionality enhancements.
   • Number of comments this week: 18

1.2 Top 5 Stale Issues:

We consider stale issues to be issues that have been opened in this project for the longest time within the last year. The team should work together to get these issues resolved and closed as soon as possible.

1. Federated Account Status/Emojo (Similar to Slack): This issue proposes the addition of a feature to Mastodon that allows users to append a single emoji to their account, similar to a functionality available in Slack. The suggested emoji could serve various purposes, such as indicating pronouns, dating status, availability, or simply for fun, enhancing user communication and expression within the platform.

   • Open for 368 days, 05 hours, 10 minutes

2. Replies are shown in Home stream even if unchecked: This issue pertains to a bug in the Mastodon platform where replies to a user's own posts are still visible in the Home stream, despite the user having unchecked the "Show replies" option in their settings. The expected behavior is that all replies should be hidden when this setting is disabled, but the actual behavior shows that most replies from the user's own posts remain visible, while replies from other users' posts are correctly hidden.

   • Open for 367 days, 07 hours, 48 minutes

3. Indicators for boosted posts appear less visible now: This issue highlights the decreased visibility of indicators for boosted posts when using the Dark Reader app in full greyscale mode, making it challenging to distinguish between boosted and unboosted posts. The user requests a return to a bolder indication for boosted posts, as the current subtle color change is insufficient against a dark background, while noting that starred posts remain clearly visible.

   • Open for 367 days, 05 hours, 28 minutes

4. Switch from inline audio player to pop-up player resets volume adjustment: This issue reports a problem where switching from an inline audio player to a pop-up player causes the volume adjustment to reset to the default level of 100%, resulting in an unexpectedly loud audio experience. The user expects the volume setting to be retained during this transition, but instead, it reverts to the default, which can be jarring and uncomfortable.

   • Open for 365 days, 18 hours, 26 minutes

5. “About” and “Privacy policy” links take you out of the advanced UI: This issue highlights a problem where the "About" and "Privacy policy" links in the Advanced UI of a GitHub project open in a new browser tab instead of within the same column, which is the expected behavior. The user notes that this change occurred after version 4.2.0, despite the Advanced UI being capable of displaying these pages directly, and suggests that the lack of a "Back" button complicates navigation.

   • Open for 364 days, 09 hours, 45 minutes
