Replying to Avatar Vitor Pamplona

New learnings from yesterday's release that I had never considered.

Receiving an edit proposal creates some interesting dynamics:

- If you were ignorant and used a less precise way to argue your point, an expert can quickly fix it for you. This is educational to the author.

- Grammar nazi's can now be happy without adopting a combative reply. Everyone loves getting their typos quickly fixed by somebody else who can just write better.

- If you are using inflammatory language just to get clicks, somebody tones it down in an edit and you reject it, it sends a clear signal that you are here for the clicks and not for the discussion/debate. People can now choose to walk away from profiles that are only here to troll.

What else are people seeing out there?

A lot of news companies first 'do harm' and then revise. I generally don't like the editing idea. But editing can be done in 30 seconds maybe. Like an AI could help with typo's.

Other than that, "hitting quickly and then claiming you didn't do it" may be an abuse of the feature.

Or, because edits are open for everyone to see on relays, people can start assembling a pattern of intention and call these people out with real and easily parseable data. :)
