Difficulty was not the reason why it took so long. The excuse has been that they want tweets to be immutable, so you don’t share a tweet for it to be changed later.
- gonzo41 4y agoA soft edit would be good for this. You can edit 3 times, but revisions are kept.
- awb 4y agoStill some questions persist like: * Do you reset the likes / retweets after an edit? If not, what happens if folks start selling the ‘edit’ on viral tweets? * What happens if the original tweet violates the TOS but then the edited version does not? Does the original tweet in violation still get persisted? Does the edit get persisted?
