Nostr Web Client

I don't have any problems with an edit button. What I liked about facebook before it was all fucked to shit was there was an edit option but an edit history was public too.

This way you know, was dude covering up his drunken tangent or simply fixing something for spelling or context.

There was a record but the ability to edit at the same time. Don't see why Nostr can't have this.

I’m with you on some degree, though I do think there’s something to be said for “thinking before you post”. No one is infallible, that’s for sure. The convenience of the edit button helps with fixing mistakes of whatever kind. But no edit button forces you to be extremely careful with what you say.

Also- if politicians were to ever adopt Nostr like they did with Twitter (perhaps by necessity once we hit critical mass), it would either force them to be careful with what they say or keep them from backtracking on what they DID say. Ultimately, it’s about accountability for words and thought, in my opinion.

Could there be an unexpected effect of people being more understanding of the human experience, in that people will make mistakes as they grow/age, so it may be best to understand that no one is perfect?

Sure. I’d argue that this kind of mentality is possible even now, but humanity in general is too immature when it comes to technology to think that way, partially due to the nature of “mainstream social media”. Nostr could fix even this!
