One quirk of Lemmy is that edits and deletions may not propagate properly to every server, meaning you’re never guaranteed anything past the initial posting.
So how do you handle when you say something you’d like to amend, correct, or delete?
Do you:
- Edit your corrections directly into the original?
- Delete it?
- Add an Edit:?
- Put the original comment behind a spoiler tag or strike through?
Or something else?
If it’s a typo I usually just edit the original. If I really want to correct myself in some content, then I usually just leave the original text and add an “Edit:” comment afterwards.
But I am 100% on mobile with Lemmy (Voyager), so I am too lazy for other methods with this touchscreen keyboard.
Yes, typo and phrasing can get corrected hours later.
I give myself about 5 minutes to make substantial edits/additions to the original text, after that, it’s Edit:.
