To increase the poll option character length and number of poll options:

Edit:

app/javascript/mastodon/features/compose/components/poll_form.js

Edit:

app/validators/poll_validator.rb

Then switch to the Mastodon user, cd to the /live folder, and run:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile

Finally, restart your Mastodon systemd services.
