Just a little warning about editing polls on Mastodon: if you edit any of the options that people can vote for, it resets all the votes back to zero.

So, if you're posting a poll, make sure the options are correct at the start and don't edit them later (unless you're okay with resetting the votes).

This reset is apparently to prevent people being fooled into voting for something they don't want.
