It’s been brought to my attention that there’s a communication issue between fedi.vision (which runs Takahē) and some (but not all) servers running Pleroma and Akkoma. Messages (including votes) are being dropped. I’m trying to diagnose it but I doubt it’ll be fixed by the time voting closes. Sorry if this affects you, you’ll need to find another account to vote from. 😞
@announce is there a way we can know what software our instance is running? Or a rough idea how many votes may have dropped?
The vote bot replies to your vote to confirm that it’s been counted. If you received that reply you’re all good.
If you didn’t then it could be that your message didn’t reach the bot, or the bot’s reply didn’t reach you, or you have DMs muted so you didn’t see the reply.
I can see in the logs that about 130 replies have been sent out by the vote bot, so there have been at most that many (×3) votes cast so far.
@kestral Your instance’s About web page will say. You are on Mastodon 4.3.0 (glitch-soc) and I haven’t seen any outgoing messages fail to reach your server, but votes are incoming and if they fail to reach fedi.vision they aren’t logged.
@announce sorry that you're experiencing issues, hope it doesn't have an impact on the overall vote counting. Sending positive energy!
