I like edits or at least the theory behind them. I make typos. I want to fix the typos. However, nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2um5v4exucn5vvhxxmmd9uq3xamnwvaz7tmhda6zuat50phjummwv5hsx7c9z9 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?

I'd ABSOLUTELY say no edits.

I think it's part of the ethos of Nostr--and a reminder that Nostr is different--it's about privacy, and freedom of speech. No edits are a part of that--

Just like in real life--once you say something, you don't get to pull it back. Yes, you can apologize but your words are forever.

So it is with Nostr.

Think before you speak--both IRL and on Nostr.

No edits is the literal OPPOSITE of privacy and freedom of speech, what are you talking about?

Think about it--when you talk to someone you can never "take back" the words you've said....

Same with email...once you've sent it, you can't really pull it back...

If you want to edit your message, do it before you hit send...

Your argument is also well accepted. I always usually read before multiplying something! Sometimes, it goes unnoticed wrong writings or missing a letter - since I use the cell phone as a transmitter; this gives me a lot of anguish.
