=~ 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.
When given two regexps, Regexp.union preserves the options set (or not
set) on each regex; this meant that none of the multiline (m),
case-insensitivity (i), or extended syntax (x) options were set. Our
regexps are written expecting the m, i, and x options were set on all of
them, so we need to make sure that we preserve that behavior.
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).
Ditto for ending with \b.
Consider muting the phrase "(hot take)". I stipulate it is reasonable
to enter this with the default "match whole word" behavior. Under the
old behavior, this would be encoded as
\b\(hot\ take\)\b
However, if \b is before the first character in the string and the first
character in the string is not a word character, then the match will
fail. Ditto for after. In our example, "(" is not a word character, so
this will not match statuses containing "(hot take)", and that's a very
surprising behavior.
To address this, we only add leading and trailing \b to keywords that
start or end with word characters.
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.
Word-boundary matching only works as intended in English and languages
that use similar word-breaking characters; it doesn't work so well in
(say) Japanese, Chinese, or Thai. It's unacceptable to have a feature
that doesn't work as intended for some languages. (Moreso especially
considering that it's likely that the largest contingent on the Mastodon
bit of the fediverse speaks Japanese.)
There are rules specified in Unicode TR29[1] for word-breaking across
all languages supported by Unicode, but the rules deliberately do not
cover all cases. In fact, TR29 states
For example, reliable detection of word boundaries in languages such
as Thai, Lao, Chinese, or Japanese requires the use of dictionary
lookup, analogous to English hyphenation.
So we aren't going to be able to make word detection work with regexes
within Mastodon (or glitchsoc). However, for a first pass (even if it's
kind of punting) we can allow the user to choose whether they want word
or substring detection and warn about the limitations of this
implementation in, say, docs.

This should eventually be accessible via the API and the web frontend,
but I find it easier to set up an editing interface using Rails
templates and the like. We can always take it out if it turns out we
don't need it.
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.
Gist of the proposed keyword mute implementation:
Keyword mutes are represented server-side as one keyword per record.
For each account, there exists a keyword regex that is generated as one
big alternation of all keywords. This regex is cached (in Redis, I
guess) so we can quickly get it when filtering in FeedManager.
* 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
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.
* 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
