Facebook now lets users edit mistakes in old comments | Digital Trends
- eps 14y agoAn option to edit past comments is absolutely fine for as long as anyone can see the edit history. I've seen this done in one place and making the edit history public had a very positive effect on the quality of comments. Basically the system gives you right to change your mind, but what's said is said, and it's on record.
- ceekays 14y agoYes indeed, this is a positive move. In the past, we had to hijack the comment within the first few seconds before it was submitted to Facebook for us to make changes to it.
- kennu 14y agoIt's interesting though that if someone Likes the comment, you can't really tell which version of it they liked. So you can trick people a bit like when changing Group/Event names after people have joined. But I definitely agree that it's nice to be able to fix typos afterwards. It causes inconvenience to followers when you delete the original comment and write a new, almost identical one.
- ceekays 14y agoNice observation on the "Likes".
