I like edits or at least the theory behind them. I make typos. I want to fix the typos. However, nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 has convinced me that they're bad. His editing and the gamification of his edits are fun, but if hundreds of people in my feeds are doing this, then it would immediately degrade my experience. I would hate it. It would be annoying.

I now see edits as an attack vector and a performance degrader.

Maybe we need a maximum number of edits? 3? I don't know. I'm just thinking out loud.

Maybe we just do away with them altogether? 👀

Thoughts?

Edits could be fine... If you can also go and see the original note.

That permanence will add a lot of historic value years down the road even for something as silly as a typo.

The hardness of our words is important to me. We are etching our notes into digital stone.

You can see the edits. All several hundred of them.
