Note that this will only hide/show *future* reblogs by a user, and does
nothing to remove/add reblogs that are already in the timeline. I don't
think that's a particularly confusing behavior, and it's a lot easier
to implement (similar to mutes, I believe).
* Retoot count increases without reason
-The store_uri method for Statuses was being called on after_create and causing reblogs to be incremented twice.
-This calls it when the transaction is finished by using after_create_commit.
-Fixes #4916.
* Added test case for after_create_commit callback for checking reblog count.
* Rewrote test to keep original, but added one for only the after_create_commit callback.
- Rename Mastodon::TimestampIds into Mastodon::Snowflake for clarity
- Skip for statuses coming from inbox, aka delivered in real-time
- Skip for statuses that claim to be from the future
* Use non-serial IDs
This change makes a number of nontrivial tweaks to the data model in
Mastodon:
* All IDs are now 8 byte integers (rather than mixed 4- and 8-byte)
* IDs are now assigned as:
* Top 6 bytes: millisecond-resolution time from epoch
* Bottom 2 bytes: serial (within the millisecond) sequence number
* See /lib/tasks/db.rake's `define_timestamp_id` for details, but
note that the purpose of these changes is to make it difficult to
determine the number of objects in a table from the ID of any
object.
* The Redis sorted set used for the feed will have values used to look
up toots, rather than scores. This is almost always the same as the
existing behavior, except in the case of boosted toots. This change
was made because Redis stores scores as double-precision floats,
which cannot store the new ID format exactly. Note that this doesn't
cause problems with sorting/pagination, because ZREVRANGEBYSCORE
sorts lexicographically when scores are tied. (This will still cause
sorting issues when the ID gains a new significant digit, but that's
extraordinarily uncommon.)
Note a couple of tradeoffs have been made in this commit:
* lib/tasks/db.rake is used to enforce many/most column constraints,
because this commit seems likely to take a while to bring upstream.
Enforcing a post-migrate hook is an easier way to maintain the code
in the interim.
* Boosted toots will appear in the timeline as many times as they have
been boosted. This is a tradeoff due to the way the feed is saved in
Redis at the moment, but will be handled by a future commit.
This would effectively close Mastodon's #1059, as it is a
snowflake-like system of generating IDs. However, given how involved
the changes were simply within Mastodon, it may have unexpected
interactions with some clients, if they store IDs as doubles
(or as 4-byte integers). This was a problem that Twitter ran into with
their "snowflake" transition, particularly in JavaScript clients that
treated IDs as JS integers, rather than strings. It therefore would be
useful to test these changes at least in the web interface and popular
clients before pushing them to all users.
* Fix JavaScript interface with long IDs
Somewhat predictably, the JS interface handled IDs as numbers, which in
JS are IEEE double-precision floats. This loses some precision when
working with numbers as large as those generated by the new ID scheme,
so we instead handle them here as strings. This is relatively simple,
and doesn't appear to have caused any problems, but should definitely
be tested more thoroughly than the built-in tests. Several days of use
appear to support this working properly.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The major(!) change here is that IDs are now returned as strings by the
REST endpoints, rather than as integers. In practice, relatively few
changes were required to make the existing JS UI work with this change,
but it will likely hit API clients pretty hard: it's an entirely
different type to consume. (The one API client I tested, Tusky, handles
this with no problems, however.)
Twitter ran into this issue when introducing Snowflake IDs, and decided
to instead introduce an `id_str` field in JSON responses. I have opted
to *not* do that, and instead force all IDs to 64-bit integers
represented by strings in one go. (I believe Twitter exacerbated their
problem by rolling out the changes three times: once for statuses, once
for DMs, and once for user IDs, as well as by leaving an integer ID
value in JSON. As they said, "If you’re using the `id` field with JSON
in a Javascript-related language, there is a very high likelihood that
the integers will be silently munged by Javascript interpreters. In most
cases, this will result in behavior such as being unable to load or
delete a specific direct message, because the ID you're sending to the
API is different than the actual identifier associated with the
message." [1]) However, given that this is a significant change for API
users, alternatives or a transition time may be appropriate.

* Restructure feed pushes/unpushes
This was necessary because the previous behavior used Redis zset scores
to identify statuses, but those are IEEE double-precision floats, so we
can't actually use them to identify all 64-bit IDs. However, it leaves
the code in a much better state for refactoring reblog handling /
coalescing.
Feed-management code has been consolidated in FeedManager, including:
* BatchedRemoveStatusService no longer directly manipulates feed zsets
* RemoveStatusService no longer directly manipulates feed zsets
* PrecomputeFeedService has moved its logic to FeedManager#populate_feed
(PrecomputeFeedService largely made lots of calls to FeedManager, but
didn't follow the normal adding-to-feed process.)
This has the effect of unifying all of the feed push/unpush logic in
FeedManager, making it much more tractable to update it in the future.
Due to some additional checks that must be made during, for example,
batch status removals, some Redis pipelining has been removed. It does
not appear that this should cause significantly increased load, but if
necessary, some optimizations are possible in batch cases. These were
omitted in the pursuit of simplicity, but a batch_push and batch_unpush
would be possible in the future.
Tests were added to verify that pushes happen under expected conditions,
and to verify reblog behavior (both on pushing and unpushing). In the
case of unpushing, this includes testing behavior that currently leads
to confusion such as Mastodon's #2817, but this codifies that the
behavior is currently expected.
* Rubocop fixes
I could swear I made these changes already, but I must have lost them
somewhere along the line.
* Address review comments
This addresses the first two comments from review of this feature:
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/4801#discussion_r139336735https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/4801#discussion_r139336931
This adds an optional argument to FeedManager#key, the subtype of feed
key to generate. It also tests to ensure that FeedManager's settings are
such that reblogs won't be tracked forever.
* Hardcode IdToBigints migration columns
This addresses a comment during review:
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/4801#discussion_r139337452
This means we'll need to make sure that all _id columns going forward
are bigints, but that should happen automatically in most cases.
* Additional fixes for stringified IDs in JSON
These should be the last two. These were identified using eslint to try
to identify any plain casts to JavaScript numbers. (Some such casts are
legitimate, but these were not.)
Adding the following to .eslintrc.yml will identify casts to numbers:
~~~
no-restricted-syntax:
- warn
- selector: UnaryExpression[operator='+'] > :not(Literal)
message: Avoid the use of unary +
- selector: CallExpression[callee.name='Number']
message: Casting with Number() may coerce string IDs to numbers
~~~
The remaining three casts appear legitimate: two casts to array indices,
one in a server to turn an environment variable into a number.
* Only implement timestamp IDs for Status IDs
Per discussion in #4801, this is only being merged in for Status IDs at
this point. We do this in a migration, as there is no longer use for
a post-migration hook. We keep the initialization of the timestamp_id
function as a Rake task, as it is also needed after db:schema:load (as
db/schema.rb doesn't store Postgres functions).
* Change internal streaming payloads to stringified IDs as well
This is equivalent to 591a9af356 from
#5019, with an extra change for the addition to FeedManager#unpush.
* Ensure we have a status_id_seq sequence
Apparently this is not a given when specifying a custom ID function,
so now we ensure it gets created. This uses the generic version of this
function to more easily support adding additional tables with timestamp
IDs in the future, although it would be possible to cut this down to a
less generic version if necessary. It is only run during db:schema:load
or the relevant migration, so the overhead is extraordinarily minimal.
* Transition reblogs to new Redis format
This provides a one-way migration to transition old Redis reblog entries
into the new format, with a separate tracking entry for reblogs.
It is not invertible because doing so could (if timestamp IDs are used)
require a database query for each status in each users' feed, which is
likely to be a significant toll on major instances.
* Address review comments from @akihikodaki
No functional changes.
* Additional review changes
* Heredoc cleanup
* Run db:schema:load hooks for test in development
This matches the behavior in Rails'
ActiveRecord::Tasks::DatabaseTasks.each_current_configuration, which
would otherwise break `rake db:setup` in development.
It also moves some functionality out to a library, which will be a good
place to put additional related functionality in the near future.
Additionally, ActivityPub::FetchRemoteStatusService no longer parses
activities.
OStatus::Activity::Creation no longer delegates to ActivityPub because
the provided ActivityPub representations are not signed while OStatus
representations are.
When a new user confirms their e-mail, bootstrap their home timeline
by automatically following a set of accounts. By default, all local
admin accounts (that are unlocked). Can be customized by new admin
setting (comma-separated usernames, local and unlocked only)
* Decouple Status#local? from uri being nil
* Replace on-the-fly URI generation with stored URIs
- Generate URI in after_save hook for local statuses
- Use static value in TagManager when available, fallback to tag format
- Make TagManager use ActivityPub::TagManager to understand new format
- Adjust tests
* Use other heuristic for locality of old statuses, do not perform long query
* Exclude tombstone stream entries from Atom feed
* Prevent nil statuses from landing in Pubsubhubbub::DistributionWorker
* Fix URI not being saved (#4818)
* Add more specs for Status
* Save generated uri immediately
and also fix method order to minimize diff.
* Fix alternate HTML URL in Atom
* Fix tests
* Remove not-null constraint from statuses migration to speed it up
* Make PreviewCard records reuseable between statuses
**Warning!** Migration truncates preview_cards tablec
* Allow a wider thumbnail for link preview, display it in horizontal layout (#4648)
* Delete preview cards files before truncating
* Rename old table instead of truncating it
* Add mastodon:maintenance:remove_deprecated_preview_cards
* Ignore deprecated_preview_cards in schema definition
* Fix null behaviour
Requires moving Atom rendering from DistributionWorker (where
`stream_entry.status` is already nil) to inline (where
`stream_entry.status.destroyed?` is true) and distributing that.
Unfortunately, such XML renderings can no longer be easily chained
together into one payload of n items.
* Add handling of Linked Data Signatures in payloads
* Add a way to sign JSON, fix canonicalization of signature options
* Fix signatureValue encoding, send out signed JSON when distributing
* Add missing security context
* Process Create / Announce activity in FetchRemoteStatusService
* Use activity URL in ActivityPub for reblogs
* Redirect to the original status on StatusesController#show
* Fallback to OStatus in FetchAtomService
* Skip activity+json link if that activity is Person without inbox
* If unsupported activity was detected and all other URLs failed, retry with ActivityPub-less Accept header
* Allow mention to OStatus account in ActivityPub
* Don't update profile with inbox-less Person object
* Add ActivityPub inbox
* Handle ActivityPub deletes
* Handle ActivityPub creates
* Handle ActivityPub announces
* Stubs for handling all activities that need to be handled
* Add ActivityPub actor resolving
* Handle conversation URI passing in ActivityPub

class for those that can be retried (Mastodon::UnexpectedResponseError)
* Refactor ResolveRemoteAccountService
* Remove trailing whitespace
* Use redis locks around critical ResolveRemoteAccountService code
* Add test for race condition of lock
* Wrap methods of ProcessFeedService::ProcessEntry in classes
This is a change same with 425acecfdb15093a265b191120fb2d4e4c4135c4, except
that it has the following changes:
* Revert irrelevant change in find_or_create_conversation
* Fix error handling for RemoteActivity
* Introduce Ostatus name space
* Specs for language detection
* Use CharlockHolmes instead of NKF
* Correct mistakes
* Correct style
* Set hint_enc instead of falling back and strip_tags

arguments, as well as arrays of stream entries
* Add BatchedRemoveStatusService, make SuspendAccountService use it
* Improve method names
* Add test
* Add more tests
* Use PuSH payloads of 100 to have a clear mapping of
1000 input statuses -> 10 PuSH payloads
It was nice while it lasted
* Add buttons to block and unblock domain
* Relationship API now returns "domain_blocking" status for accounts,
rename "block entire domain" to "hide entire domain", fix unblocking domain,
do not block notifications from domain-blocked-but-followed people, do
not send Salmons to domain blocked users
* Add test
* Personal domain blocks shouldn't affect Salmon after all, since in this
direction of communication the control is very thin when it comes to
public stuff. Best stay consistent and not affect federation in this way
* Ignore followers and follow request from domain blocked folks,
ensure account domain blocks are not created for empty domain,
and avoid duplicates in validation
* Purge followers when blocking domain (without soft-blocks, since they
are useless here)
* Add tests, fix local timeline being empty when having any domain blocks
* Add <ostatus:conversation /> tag to Atom input/output
Only uses ref attribute (not href) because href would be
the alternate link that's always included also.
Creates new conversation for every non-reply status. Carries
over conversation for every reply. Keeps remote URIs verbatim,
generates local URIs on the fly like the rest of them.
* Conversation muting - prevents notifications that reference a conversation
(including replies, favourites, reblogs) from being created. API endpoints
/api/v1/statuses/:id/mute and /api/v1/statuses/:id/unmute
Currently no way to tell when a status/conversation is muted, so the web UI
only has a "disable notifications" button, doesn't work as a toggle
* Display "Dismiss notifications" on all statuses in notifications column, not just own
* Add "muted" as a boolean attribute on statuses JSON
For now always false on contained reblogs, since it's only relevant for
statuses returned from the notifications endpoint, which are not nested
Remove "Disable notifications" from detailed status view, since it's
only relevant in the notifications column
* Up max class length
* Remove pending test for conversation mute
* Add tests, clean up
* Rename to "mute conversation" and "unmute conversation"
* Raise validation error when trying to mute/unmute status without conversation
* Adding account domain blocks that filter notifications and public timelines
* Add tests for domain blocks in notifications, public timelines
Filter reblogs of blocked domains from home
* Add API for listing and creating account domain blocks
* API for creating/deleting domain blocks, tests for Status#ancestors
and Status#descendants, filter domain blocks from them
* Filter domains in streaming API
* Update account_domain_block_spec.rb
* Add <ostatus:conversation /> tag to Atom input/output
Only uses ref attribute (not href) because href would be
the alternate link that's always included also.
