Every time I post a comment, invariably within a few seconds I read over it real quick and realize I should add a word or change something. Every damn time. No more ninja editing for me. Everyone can see how I overthink everything now. It’s no longer a secret.
That’s just how the Fediverse works. Even if all the Lemmy frontends would hide the edits, the individual servers still receive every update. It wouldn’t even be that hard for someone to set up a system where you could watch the edit entire history of every comment and post.
Just own the edits. Does it really matter if you edit the contents of your comment before or after you hit send? If you’re quick, nobody is going to notice the difference anyway.
It would take me 45 minutes to write what you just wrote.
