> in control of what should be your message
The message isn't yours anymore after you sent it, it's the other party's now. When you mail someone a letter, it's up to them what to do with it. Why would this be different? If you want to retain control over something, don't give it away on a medium you can't control.
- zerocrates 2y agoThat's what the parent post means. Unsend and message edit are methods for the sender maintaining control, which is what they don't like.
- radicality 2y agoYep, exactly what I meant, the moment I send someone else a message, from that point it it basically duplicates itself and I keep my copy (and if I feel like it I can delete my local copy of it), and they get their own. So I shouldn't be able to 'take back' or edit what I now logically think of as their copy of the message!
