minus-squareMelonYellow@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17·edit-29 months agoYes! I stopped caring about the edited mark. Why should everything be perfect at the first post? I edit for grammar all the time, fix my phrasing, edit for better flow, add things I forgot to mention, etc.
minus-squareSnot Flickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-29 months agoI’d rather edit to fix my own mistakes than stand firm on making a mistake and thinking it was important to keep the mistake or something. The typos/mistakes absolutely detract from any points you’re trying to make.
minus-squareedric@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·9 months agoOne thing I wish Lemmy had is ninja edits, where editing a comment within maybe 30 seconds will not show the edited mark.
minus-squaredingus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 months agoYeah I find most of my mistakes, I notice within the first few minutes!
minus-squareMelonYellow@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 months agoYeah I’m on Tildes and it does this! You get a 5 minute or so grace period. Nice quality of life feature.
