* Add soft delete for statuses to allow them to appear instant
* Allow reporting soft-deleted statuses and show them in the admin UI
* Change index for getting an account's statuses
The reason for unattaching media instead of removing it is to support
delete & redraft functionality, but remote or staff-removed statuses
will never be redrafted, so the media should be deleted immediately

Fixes#11568
* Fix min_id in replies queries once self-replies are exhausted
* Fix `next` attribute of replies collection being nil when there are no self-replies
* Rename other_accounts param to only_other_accounts
Fix percentages in usage breakdown having too many digits
Change trending hashtags to only ask for review if a hashtag enters
the top 3 position in the set, since it's the only items shown in
the default web UI
* Add database columns for adding notes to domain blocks/restrctions
* Add admin UI to set private and public comments when blocking a domain
* Add text for private and public comments on domain blocks
* Show domain block comments in admin UI

Regression from f371b32
Fix Tag#discoverable not returning tags where listable is nil instead of true
Add notice when saving hashtags in admin UI
Change public hashtag and directory pages to return 404 for forbidden tags
* Remove unused locale string
Fix#271
Add back the `GET /api/v1/trends` API with the caveat that it does
not return tags that have not been allowed to trend by the staff.
When a hashtag begins to trend (internally) and that hashtag has
not been previously reviewed by the staff, the staff is notified.
The new admin UI for hashtags allows filtering hashtags by where
they are used (e.g. in the profile directory), whether they have
been reviewed or are pending reviewal, they show by how many people
the hashtag is used in the directory, how many people used it
today, how many statuses with it have been created today, and it
allows fixing the name of the hashtag to make it more readable.
The disallowed hashtags feature has been reworked. It is now
controlled from the admin UI for hashtags instead of from
the file `config/settings.yml`
Allow access to account settings, 2FA, authorized applications, and
account deletions to unconfirmed and pending users, as well as
users who had their accounts disabled. Suspended users cannot update
their e-mail or password or delete their account.
Display account status on account settings page, for example, when
an account is frozen, limited, unconfirmed or pending review.
After sign up, login users straight away and show a simple page that
tells them the status of their account with links to account settings
and logout, to reduce onboarding friction and allow users to correct
wrongly typed e-mail addresses.
Move the final sign-up step of SSO integrations to be the same
as above to reduce code duplication.

same block will be applied to a subdomain (foo.example.com)
* Match subdomains of existing accounts when blocking/unblocking domains
* Improve code style
* Add audio uploads
Fix#4827
Accept uploads of OGG, WAV, FLAC, OPUS and MP3 files, and converts
them to OGG. Media attachments get a new `audio` type. In the UI,
audio uploads are displayed identically to video uploads.
* Improve code style
* Fix poll API not requiring authentication on non-public polls
That API does not reveal the content of the status, i.e. the question
itself, nor who the author is, nor which status it belongs to, but it
does reveal the poll options and how many answers they got
Fix#10959
* Add test
* Add responsive panels to the single-column layout
* Fixes
* Fix not being able to save the preference
* Fix code style issues
* Set max-height on the compose textarea and add a link to relationship manager

Restore some cleanup from bd02ec6daa
* Refactor by adding `without_blocking` scope
Red crosses implied that it was bad/unexpected that certain features
were not enabled. In reality, they are options, so showing a green
or grey power-off icon is more appropriate.
Add status of timeline preview as well

Do not start a session if the current user is not logged in for public-facing pages.
Mark pages that don't care about sessions as publicly cacheable.
Keep the max age as 0 so proxies and browsers will still try to retrieve an updated version but can still fall back to the stale version if the site is down or too slow.
Fixes#9035.
* Add polls
Fix#1629
* Add tests
* Fixes
* Change API for creating polls
* Use name instead of content for votes

* Add polls to public pages
* When updating the poll, update options just in case they were changed
* Fix public pages showing both poll and other media

Fix#8939
* Make the offset work on accounts and hashtags search as well
* Assure brakeman we are not doing mass assignment here

Fixes#8822
* Always re-fetch AP signing key when HTTP Signature verification fails
But when the account is not marked as stale, avoid fetching collections and
media, and avoid webfinger round-trip.
* Apply stoplight to key/account update as well as initial key retrieval
* Change remote interaction dialog to use specific actions
Instead of just "interact", use different strings based on whether
it's a reply, reblog or favourite. Add explanation why the step
is necessary in the first place
* Remove obsolete strings
* Allow to show a specific status in the admin interface
* Let the front-end know the current account is a moderator
* Add admin links to status and account menus
If the current logged-in user is an admin, add quick links to the admin
interface in account and toot dropdown menu. Suggestion by @ashkitten
* Use @statuses.first instead of @statuses[0]
* Add local followers page to admin account UI
For moderation, I often find myself wondering who, locally, is following
a remote user. Currently, to see this, I have to go back to the web UI,
paste in their full handle, click their profile, and go to the
"Followers" tab (plus, this information is incidental, and if mastodon
ever decides to resolve all of the follower information, there will be
no place local followers are shown). This PR adds a new page which is
accessible via the "following" count on the admin's account view
page, which shows the local followers. (It has filter parameters for
account location to indicate that only local followers are shown, and
leave room for expansion if mastodon ever decides to store the entire
remote follow list).
* Normalize en.yml
* Add REST API for creating an account
The method is available to apps with a token obtained via the client
credentials grant. It creates a user and account records, as well as
an access token for the app that initiated the request. The user is
unconfirmed, and an e-mail is sent as usual.
The method returns the access token, which the app should save for
later. The REST API is not available to users with unconfirmed
accounts, so the app must be smart to wait for the user to click a
link in their e-mail inbox.
The method is rate-limited by IP to 5 requests per 30 minutes.
* Redirect users back to app from confirmation if they were created with an app
* Add tests
* Return 403 on the method if registrations are not open
* Require agreement param to be true in the API when creating an account
* Add moderation warnings
Replace individual routes for disabling, silencing, and suspending
a user, as well as the report update route, with a unified account
action controller that allows you to select an action (none,
disable, silence, suspend) as well as whether it should generate an
e-mail notification with optional custom text. That notification,
with the optional custom text, is saved as a warning.
Additionally, there are warning presets you can configure to save
time when performing the above.
* Use Account#local_username_and_domain
Define `Settings::BaseController#set_body_classes` so that sub classes
inherit `Settings::BaseController` don't need to define
`#set_body_classes` agein.
* Add instance-wide setting to disable profile directory
Fixes#9496
When the profile directory is disabled:
- The “discoverable” setting is hidden from users
- The “profile directory” link is not shown on public pages
- /explore returns 404
* Move Setting.profile_directory check to a before_action filter
* 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
* Improve overview of accounts in admin UI
- Display suspended status, role, last activity and IP prominently
- Default to showing local accounts
- Default to not showing suspended accounts
* Remove unused strings
* Fix tests
* Allow filtering accounts by IP mask
* Eliminate extra accounts select query from FollowService
* Optimistically update follow state in web UI and hide loading bar
Fix#6205
* Asynchronize NotifyService in FollowService
And fix failing test
* Skip Webfinger resolve routine when called from FollowService if possible
If an account is ActivityPub, then webfinger re-resolving is not necessary
when called from FollowService. Improve options of ResolveAccountService
* Nascent tag menu on frontend
* Hook up frontend to search
* Tag intersection backend first pass
* Update yarnlock

* Update brakeman ignore
* Codeclimate suggestions
* Fix presenter tag_url
* Implement initial PR feedback
* Handle additional tag streaming
* CodeClimate tweak
* Downcase signed_headers string before building the signed string
The HTTP Signatures draft does not mandate the “headers” field to be downcased,
but mandates the header field names to be downcased in the signed string, which
means that prior to this patch, Mastodon could fail to process signatures from
some compliant clients. It also means that it would not actually check the
Digest of non-compliant clients that wouldn't use a lowercased Digest field
name.
Thankfully, I don't know of any such client.
* Revert "Remove dead code (#8919)"
This reverts commit a00ce8c92c.
* Restore time window checking, change it to 12 hours
By checking the Date header, we can prevent replaying old vulnerable
signatures. The focus is to prevent replaying old vulnerable requests
from software that has been fixed in the meantime, so a somewhat long
window should be fine and accounts for timezone misconfiguration.
* Escape users' URLs when formatting them
Fixes possible HTML injection
* Escape all string interpolations in Formatter class
Slightly improve performance by reducing class allocations
from repeated Formatter#encode calls
* Fix code style issues
* Add conversations API
* Add web UI for conversations

For when a user needs to sign into an app from multiple accounts
on the same server
* When logging out from modal header, redirect back after re-login
* Add animate custom emoji param to embed pages
* Rename param, use it for avatars and gifs
* Fix issues pointed by codeclimate and breaking test
* Ignore brakeman warning
* Allow moderators to disable/enable login
* Instead of rejecting login, show forbidden error when login disabled
Avoid confusion because when login is rejected, the message is that
the account is not activated, which is wrong.
* Fix tests
* Add default_settings class method to ScopedSettings
ScopedSettings was extended to use value of unscoped setting instead of
only using defaults set in config/settings.yml for selected settings.
This adds possibility for admins to set default values of users' settings,
for example default theme (as requested in #7092).
* Add ability to change an instance default theme
Closes#7092
* Add remote interaction dialog for toots
* Change AuthorizeFollow into AuthorizeInteraction, support statuses
* Update brakeman.ignore
* Adjust how interaction buttons are display on public pages
* Fix tests
DELETE /api/v1/suggestions/:account_id
When blocking, remove suggestion from both sides. Muting not affected,
since muting is supposed to be invisible to the target.
* Add more granular OAuth scopes
* Add human-readable descriptions of the new scopes
* Ensure new scopes look good on the app UI
* Add tests
* Group scopes in screen and color-code dangerous ones
* Fix wrong extra scope
* Re-add follow recommendations API
GET /api/v1/suggestions
Removed in 8efa081f21 due to Neo4J
dependency. The algorithm uses triadic closures, takes into account
suspensions, blocks, mutes, domain blocks, excludes locked and moved
accounts, and prefers more recently updated accounts.
* Track interactions with people you don't follow
Replying to, favouriting and reblogging someone you're not following
will make them show up in follow recommendations. The interactions
have different weights:
- Replying is 1
- Favouriting is 10 (decidedly positive interaction, but private)
- Reblogging is 20
Following them, muting or blocking will remove them from the list,
obviously.
* Remove triadic closures, ensure potential friendships are trimmed
* Make embeds cacheable by reverse proxy
* Make follow button on embeds open remote follow modal
Instead of web+mastodon://, also, turn the button blue, and add a
sign up prompt to the remote follow modal
`@signature_verification_failure_reason` is used in most places but`@signed_verification_failure_reason` appears in two places. Likely those errors are not returned.
* 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
* Send rejections to followers when user hides domain they're on
* Use account domain blocks for "authorized followers" action
Replace soft-blocking (block & unblock) behaviour with follow rejection
* Split sync and async work of account domain blocking
Do not create domain block when removing followers by domain, that
is probably unexpected from the user's perspective.
* Adjust confirmation message for domain block
* yarn manage:translations
* optimize direct timeline
* fix typo in class name
* change filter condition for direct timeline
* fix codestyle issue
* revoke index_accounts_not_silenced because direct timeline does not use it.
* revoke index_accounts_not_silenced because direct timeline does not use it.
* fix rspec test condition.

* (direct timeline) move merging logic to model
* fix pagination parameter
* add method arguments that switches return array of status or cache_ids
* fix order by
* returns ActiveRecord.Relation in default behavor
* fix codestyle issue
* Track trending tags
- Half-life of 1 day
- Historical usage in daily buckets (last 7 days stored)
- GET /api/v1/trends
Fix#271
* Add trends to web UI
* Don't render compose form on search route, adjust search results header
* Disqualify tag from trends if it's in disallowed hashtags setting
* Count distinct accounts using tag, ignore silenced accounts
* Add preference to hide following/followers lists
- Public pages
- ActivityPub collections (does not return pages but does give total)
- REST API (unless it's your own) (does not federate)
Fix#6901
* Add preference
* Add delegation
* Fix issue
* Fix issue
permitted_for scope is slow when combined with pinned status scope.
Fortunately permitted_for scope can safely be removed because a pinned
status is always public.
- POST /api/v1/push/subscription
- PUT /api/v1/push/subscription
- DELETE /api/v1/push/subscription
- New OAuth scope: "push" (required for the above methods)
* No need to re-require sidekiq plugins, they are required via Gemfile
* Add derailed_benchmarks tool, no need to require TTY gems in Gemfile
* Replace ruby-oembed with FetchOEmbedService
Reduce startup by 45382 allocated objects
* Remove preloaded JSON-LD in favour of caching HTTP responses
Reduce boot RAM by about 6 MiB
* Fix tests

Increase item limits in threads
Fix#7268
* Fix "Show more" link in paginated threads (descendants side)
* Use table for statuses in report
* Display reported account and reporter in the same table
* Split accounts and general report info into two tables again
* Redesign report statuses table, notes, merge notes and action log
* Remove unused translations
* Fix code style issue
* Fix code style issue
* Fix code style issue
* Added a timeline for Direct statuses
* Lists all Direct statuses you've sent and received
* Displayed in Getting Started
* Streaming server support for direct TL
* Changes to match other timelines in 2.0
Commit 519119f657 missed a change for
stream entry page. Instead of duplicating the change, redirect to account
status page. It would also help crawlers (of search engines, for example)
to understand a stream entry URL and its corresponding status URL points
to the same page.
* Add bio fields
- Fix#3211
- Fix#232
- Fix#121
* Display bio fields in web UI
* Fix output of links and missing fields
* Federate bio fields over ActivityPub as PropertyValue
* Improve how the fields are stored, add to Edit profile form
* Add rel=me to links in fields
Fix#121
This also limits the statuses returned by API, but pagination is not
implemented in Web API yet. I still expect it brings user experience
better than making a user wait to fetch all ancestor statuses and flooding
the column with them.
* Further improvements to Reports UI
- Clean up notes display
- Clean up add new note form
- Simplify controller
- Allow reopening a report with a note
- Show created at date for reports
- Fix report details table formatting
* Show history of report using Admin::ActionLog beneath the report
* Fix incorrect log message when reopening a report
* Implement fetching of all ActionLog items that could be related to the report
* Ensure adding a report_note updates the report's updated_at
* Limit Report History to actions that happened between the report being created and the report being resolved
* Fix linting issues
* Improve report history builder
Thanks @gargron for the improvements
* Admin: Show unconfirmed email address on account page

* Enable updating additional account information from user preferences via rest api
Resolves#6553
* Pacify rubocop
* Decoerce incoming settings in UserSettingsDecorator
* Create user preferences hash directly from incoming credentials instead of going through ActionController::Parameters
* Clean up user preferences update
* Use ActiveModel::Type::Boolean instead of manually checking stringified number equivalence
* Fix follow/unfollow buttons on public profile
- Present non-logged users with web+mastodon:// URLs for remote accounts
- Present logged-in users with appropriate links (authorize_follows and
remote_unfollows) for remote accounts
* Do not cache rendered cards if user is logged in
Previously these returns 302 redirects instead of 403s, which meant posting links to admin pages in slack caused them to unfurl, rather than stay as a link. Additionally, require_admin! doesn't appear to be actively used, on require_staff!
* Implement Assignment of Reports (#6967)
* Change translation of admin.report.comment.label to "Report Comment" for clarity
As we'll soon add the ability for reports to have comments on them, this clarification makes sense.
* Implement notes for Reports
This enables moderators to leave comments about a report whilst they work on it
* Fix display of report moderation notes
* Allow reports to be reopened / marked as unresolved
* Redirect to reports listing upon resolution of report
* Implement "resolve with note" functionality
* Add inverse relationship for report notes
* Remove additional database querying when loading report notes
* Fix tests for reports
* Fix localisations for report notes / reports
Previously the default locale was set by Localized concern for controllers,
but it was not enforced for mailers.
config is enforced throughout the application and an appropriate place to
set the default locale.
