Joshua ByrdOne feature Mastodon does better than virtually every other platform is the edit button. It's free, has unlimited edits, is not time limited, has edit history, edit notifications, real-time updates, and is generally just awesome. As someone who does a LOT of typos, and constantly forgets alt text etc, I am eternally grateful to the Mastodon Devs for such a flawless implementation.
Kate Bowles@phocks @futurebird I love it for a specific use case: you ask a question, downthread someone answers it, and you can add an update to the original to let people know they can put away their bird books, lichen identification posters, tech skills, whatever. And in that case it’s also potentially useful for people who saw the original and were idly wondering: how did that thing turn out?
