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?

    EDIT: is still courteous if you are significantly changing the content of your comment or post, so that people can have that context in mind when theybread child comments.

    If it is a small “ninja” edit I usually don’t draw attention to it though.
