This does not prevent the other person from editing the message down to remove the substance, then proceeding to delete, right? Similar to how proper reddit deleters work.
- idealmedtech 4y agoI haven't read the code, but I'm guessing the API they're using would allow them to track _all_ changes. The only reason Reddit works that way is because they choose to only keep one version of the comment internally (or at least they did back when most reddit deleters were in use, in 2017 or so). It's architecture, not some fundamental limitation, that causes that to work, although it may not actually work anymore. Only reddit knows that.
- cole-k 4y agoI feel like you can probably patch it to intercept the "message_changed" event pictured here: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/519424/188518385-f1e319e4-16c6-499d-b153-e24891520e75.png https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/519424/188518385-f.... Then just send the event on its own instead of applying its effect. My workplace administrators have disabled deleting messages on Slack perhaps with the intent of preventing this sort of thing. Usually if someone sends an "oops" message they'll edit it to ".".
