Fetching statuses from all followed accounts at once takes too long
within Postgres. Fetching them one by one and merging in Ruby
could be a lot less resource-intensive
Because the query for dynamically fetching the home timeline is so
heavy, we can no longer offer it when the home timeline is missing
* Add setting to not aggregate reblogs
Fixes#9222
* Handle cases where user is nil in add_to_home and add_to_list
* Add hint for setting_aggregate_reblogs option
* Reword setting_aggregate_reblogs label
* Add silent column to mentions
* Save silent mentions in ActivityPub Create handler and optimize it
Move networking calls out of the database transaction
* Add "limited" visibility level masked as "private" in the API
Unlike DMs, limited statuses are pushed into home feeds. The access
control rules between direct and limited statuses is almost the same,
except for counter and conversation logic
* Ensure silent column is non-null, add spec
* Ensure filters don't check silent mentions for blocks/mutes
As those are "this person is also allowed to see" rather than "this
person is involved", therefore does not warrant filtering
* Clean up code
* Use Status#active_mentions to limit returned mentions
* Fix code style issues
* Use Status#active_mentions in Notification
And remove stream_entry eager-loading from Notification
* Changed list behaviour
I added the following line to the FeedManager (app/lib/feed_manager.rb) in the push_to_list function:
`return false if status.reply?`
Now all posts that are replies are filtered out, so that now only "genuine" posts are displayed in the list.
This is a first approach to solve issue #5916
* Update feed_manager.rb
As suggested by @Gargron
Completely remove glitch-soc's Keyword Mutes, migrate
existing database records to CustomFilters.
Handling of client-side filters is still not implemented
in the glitch-soc front-end.
* Add keyword filtering
GET|POST /api/v1/filters
GET|PUT|DELETE /api/v1/filters/:id
- Irreversible filters can drop toots from home or notifications
- Other filters can hide toots through the client app
- Filters use a phrase valid in particular contexts, expiration
* Make sure expired filters don't get applied client-side
* Add missing API methods
* Remove "regex filter" from column settings
* Add tests
* Add test for FeedManager
* Add CustomFilter test
* Add UI for managing filters
* Add streaming API event to allow syncing filters
* Fix tests
If a status shows up in mentions because all keyword mutes that might
apply to it are marked as "don't apply to mentions", then it ought to
show up in the home feed also.
Also add an apply_to_mentions attribute on Glitch::KeywordMute, which is
used to calculate scope. Next up: additions to the test suite to
demonstrate how scoping works.
* Remove most behaviour disparities between blocks and mutes
The only differences between block and mute should be:
- Mutes can optionally NOT affect notifications
- Mutes should not be visible to the muted
Fix#7230Fix#5713
* Do not allow boosting someone you blocked
Fix#7248
* Do not allow favouriting someone you blocked
* Fix nil error in StatusPolicy
A complemental change for precompute_feed_service_spec.rb also fixes its
random failure which is caused by the Snowlake randomization of the order
of an original status and its reblog.
* Allow hiding of reblogs from followed users
This adds a new entry to the account menu to allow users to hide
future reblogs from a user (and then if they've done that, to show
future reblogs instead).
This does not remove or add historical reblogs from/to the user's
timeline; it only affects new statuses.
The API for this operates by sending a "reblogs" key to the follow
endpoint. If this is sent when starting a new follow, it will be
respected from the beginning of the follow relationship (even if
the follow request must be approved by the followee). If this is
sent when a follow relationship already exists, it will simply
update the existing follow relationship. As with the notification
muting, this will now return an object ({reblogs: [true|false]}) or
false for each follow relationship when requesting relationship
information for an account. This should cause few issues due to an
object being truthy in many languages, but some modifications may
need to be made in pickier languages.
Database changes: adds a show_reblogs column (default true,
non-nullable) to the follows and follow_requests tables. Because
these are non-nullable, we use the existing MigrationHelpers to
perform this change without locking those tables, although the
tables are likely to be small anyway.
Tests included.

* Rubocop fixes
* Code review changes
* Test fixes
This patchset closes#648 and resolves#3271.
* Rubocop fix
* Revert reblogs defaulting in argument, fix tests
It turns out we needed this for the same reason we needed it in muting:
if nil gets passed in somehow (most usually by an API client not passing
any value), we need to detect and handle it.
We could specify a default in the parameter and then also catch nil, but
there's no great reason to duplicate the default value.
* Add structure for lists
* Add list timeline streaming API
* Add list APIs, bind list-account relation to follow relation
* Add API for adding/removing accounts from lists
* Add pagination to lists API
* Add pagination to list accounts API
* Adjust scopes for new APIs
- Creating and modifying lists merely requires "write" scope
- Fetching information about lists merely requires "read" scope
* Add test for wrong user context on list timeline
* Clean up tests
=~ made sense when we were passing it through to a regex, but we're no
longer doing that: TagMatcher looks at individual tags and returns a
value that *looks* like what you get out of #=~ but really isn't that
meaningful. Probably a good idea to not subvert convention like this
and instead use a name with guessable intent.
It is reasonable to expect someone to enter #foo to mute hashtag #foo.
However, tags are recorded on statuses without the preceding #.
To adjust for this, we build a separate tag matcher and use
Tag::HASHTAG_RE to extract a hashtag from the hashtag syntax.
There are two motivations for this:
1. It looks like we're going to add other features that require
server-side storage (e.g. user notes).
2. Namespacing glitchsoc modifications is a good idea anyway: even if we
do not end up doing (1), if upstream introduces a keyword-mute feature
that also uses a "KeywordMute" model, we can avoid some merge
conflicts this way and work on the more interesting task of
choosing which implementation to use.
A matcher object that builds a match from KeywordMute data and runs it
over text is, in my view, one of the easier ways to write examples for
this sort of thing.
* Clean up reblog-tracking sets from FeedManager
Builds on #5419, with a few minor optimizations and cleanup of sets
after they are no longer needed.
* Update tests, fix multiply-reblogged case
Previously, we would have lost the fact that a given status was
reblogged if the displayed reblog of it was removed, now we don't.
Also added tests to make sure FeedManager#trim cleans up our reblog
tracking keys, fixed up FeedCleanupScheduler to use the right loop,
and fixed the test for it.
* Keep references to all reblogs of a status on home feed
When inserting reblog: Add to set of reblogs of this status on
the feed, if original status was present in the feed, add it to
that set as well.
When removing a reblog: Remove it from that set. Take random
remaining item from the set. If one exists, re-insert it into feed,
otherwise do not re-insert anything.
Fix#4210
* When original is removed, toss out reblog references
Fix#5398
Ordering the home timeline query by account_id meant that the first
100 items belonged to a single account. There was also no reason to
reverse-iterate over the statuses. Assuming the user accesses the
feed halfway-through, it's better to have recent statuses already
available at the top. Therefore working from newer->older is ideal.
If the algorithm ends up filtering all items out during last-mile
filtering, repeat again a page further. The algorithm terminates
when either at least one item has been added, or if the database
query returns nothing (end of data reached)
We've changed un-reblogging behavior when we implement Snowflake, to insert un-reblogged status at the position reblogging status existed.
However, our API expects home timeline is ordered by status ids, and max_id/since_id filters by zset score. Due to this, un-reblogged status appears as a last item of result set, and timeline expansion may skips many statuses.
So this reverts that change...reblogged status inserted at corresponding position to its id.
- For some reason, :if option on before_action did not work. It got
executed every time, returned false, and the action run anyway,
which led to the current_sign_in_at and sign_in_count being
updated on every request
- Return "do not filter" early in FeedManager#filter_from_home? if
the status is authored by receiver. Usually this method is not
called for own statuses at all, but it is called when Feed#get
uses the database
- Return early if #reload_stale_associations! has nothing to load
to save a database query with WHERE 1=0
Do NOT send "delete" through streaming API when unmerging from
home timeline. "delete" implies that the original status was
deleted, which is not true!
* 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 591a9af356faf2d5c7e66e3ec715502796c875cd 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.
