Saw someone talking about the edit button on here and I shamefully have to admit that I was one of those people who believed Twitter should never have one, because “what if I like a post and then a guy changes it to nazi shit” and “how am I gonna prove what that nazi said to me to make me go off like that in the reply, otherwise?”
Two things I learned when coming here, and I learned them very quickly
A) about 80% of my worries are covered by Mastodon giving me a notification that the post I liked or boosted, has changed – I just read it again and if it’s a problem, I unlike/boost.
B) the remaining 20% of my problem is more or less solved by having a server admin who is on MY side against, well, literal fucking nazis, and doesn’t want me to spend all of my time building airtight cases to prove nazis are harassing me beyond the shadow of even unreasonable doubts, before they’ll do anything.
The edit feature is fine. The problem was Twitter.
