 As you might have noticed earlier today, I accidentally reset the poll from yesterday 😳 

So, here's a warning for poll creators:

If you edit a Mastodon poll, changing the options at all will reset the poll to zero, even if people have already voted on it. It will do this automatically without warning, so only edit options if you're okay with resetting the poll.

 @796af16b good to know, thanks. I think I did this without  realising it got reset. I wonder if this is a bug?
