Plenty of hard-liners on both sides. Again, fair take, but I disagree. I still prefer to be able to correct my typos. As for folks abusing edits... I’ll just block/mute them.
Same goes for deletion, even though deleting on Nostr is kind of an illusion, given that plenty of relays and clients won’t comply with it. In my view, both editing and deleting are here to stay.
Yes, editing brings its own challenges. No, not every social media platform has this feature. But yes, it can be done right. It can work in social media, and it can even be done in distributed & decentralized platforms (e.g., Mastodon/ActivityPub).
Maybe it can be done in a simpler way (and I’m all for testing and evolving alternative implementations in practice, plus gathering user feedback). The best way to "eliminate" editing is to replace it with a suitable alternative.
