Am Ithe only one who see’s value in Twitter’s uneditablity? To me it allows for only two class of tweets: Real & Fake. With the real one easily verifiable again

- staunch 5y agoA limited edit window with a changelog seems reasonable to me but yeah I think immutability is elegant, if somewhat inconvenient.
- extheat 5y agoEditing tweets I think has value, even if for a short period of time. The biggest complaints people have are the meaning could change. Which is a fair point, but this is only a problem if you view it in the context of deception. People might write a very strongly worded statement in the moment, then decide to tone down what they’ve written. I don’t view this inherently as a bad thing.

- nradov 5y agoFacebook posts can be edited. It's not a problem. Everything on social media is fake anyway, so who cares.
- notyourwork 5y agoFacebook is not the gold standard example of a social media platform in 2022 is it?
- bastardoperator 5y agoIs twitter?
- nradov 5y agoThere is no "gold standard" example of a social media platform, and never has been. They're all pretty crappy due to misaligned incentives between users and customers (advertisers). But despite that, some of them still manage to be useful and entertaining.
