Wait, you can *edit* your posts on this site?!?
@zurch @glennf Yup! And it lets anyone who boosted it know that you edited it.

@zurch

Yep! And when you do, everyone who favorited it gets a notification you did.

@zurch Yep. Glad youโ€™re here!
@zurch ๐Ÿ˜ Naaaah; not at all. ๐Ÿ˜—
@zurch Itโ€™s a miracle, I agree! can only do that on the browser app not on IOS mobile, but got a suggestion to keep browser version open to edit quickly & easily. Works well.

@zurch

Yeah, it's really something. Typos no longer fill me with rage and embarrassment

@zurch WELCOME TO THE FUTURE!

No, seriously. Welcome! We think you'll like it here.

@zurch I know, right? Makes you want to sing and dance. ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜
@zurch not in the iOS app you canโ€™t.
@zurch Yes, it's a (pretty new) feature!
@zurch I donโ€™t have an edit button, or a pinned post option, sadly! Iโ€™m using the Mastadon app and others tell me they have these options. Must be some settings Iโ€™ve missed?

@RachelJo @zurch

The web app can do this (if your server is new enough, Version 4). Don't know of a mobile app which support it, *yet*.

Not because of this feature, but many people prefer to use alternative mobile apps, e.g. on Android #Tusky or #Fedilab.

@zurch @donmelton Yes! Itโ€™s a free feature as well (However, you might want to tip the host of your instance).
@zurch I deleted and redrafted so many times before I noticed this!
@zurch it does show an asterisk, which is like Reddit!
@zurch Isn't it heavenly? ๐Ÿ˜
@zurch @tjandamurra even better, thereโ€™s an audit trail. No gaslighting.
@zurch Only if you have the Mastodon-Blue subscription for 11โ‚ฌ/month.

@zurch

@janboehm

Wait, on the Birdsite you can't? ;)

@zurch Yup.

And if a post has been edited, there will be an asterisk next to the time it was posted, so you know it's been edited. And if you open the post, there's a dropdown on the date posted to check the editing history of the post, so you can see what was changed.

So if bad actors want to post something, garner responses, and change their original post, there's an audit trail providing receipts. The only way to avoid the audit trail would be to delete & re-draft, which loses all of the original commentary/likes/boosts.

@zurch i was about to have a typo as a joke and then edit it but i see it kinda depend on the app you are using
@zurch Yes. Respectful to all who suffer digital dyslexia.

@zurch

.. doesn't look like your post was edited so .. no proof of that I guess.
