No solution is perfect, but being able to correct errors and revise int the light of later facts is a plus.
And honestly, just how much "damage" can an edit do? You can hide your opinion if you're losing an argument. You could change a question from "Do you like puppies?" to "Do you beat up orphans?"
It that the extent of the 'harm' from an edit button?
Everyone who says "we need an edit feature" needs to ask themselves: "Do I want this?"
I think no one wants to or should edit other peoples posts.
I give you an example of what I was talking about:
Let's say I've written a post that you have shared.
1/3
This would be important because my edit of my post that you have shared may have changed it's meaning in a way that you do not support anymore ...
2/3
But it's a question that needs to be asked.
It was originally 300.
Also do you know what day it is?
I think alotta people missed the joke
How about we all hit the gym instead of living on this thing?
Like the BlueSky team said, most would just edit typos. But some would abuse the function.
Best solution outside of edit is proofreading before posting. Time to develop a new habit 😀
I hate April fools “jokes”
😡
Ah.
I'm the problem; it's me.
Editing functionality, please. 🙏❤️
I’m going to have to test this.
Create an account on Substack and then you can just share your longer post from your Substack to here🤷🏻♂️
In general, I feel that Bluesky (and Twitter before it) will have to adapt their platforms for their new uses. Besides the short jokes/updates that they were originally designed for, there
I do miss the Notifications and Bookmark options.
I think this is @bsky.app poor taste in April fools day!
Please consider checking your calendar.
If I post something I regret, I delete. 🤷♂️
Is that an old Twitter trap?
Might make sense to show which likes were for previous versions of a post
This post has been edited, whee
For communication.
I thought it was neat, then remembered April Fools, and am now typing a 300-character post about this.
I thought it was neat, then remembered April Fools, and am now typing a 300-character post ...
Just one question: I counted your post. How did you manage to enter 300 chars?
It shows you how many symbols you have left (I often have to trim my comments down).
"I thought it was neat, then remembered April Fools, and am now typing a 300-character post about this." = 102
"I thought it was neat, then remembered April Fools, and am now typing a 300-character post ..." = 94
linebreak = 1
102+1+102+1+94 = 300
I haven't counted, only checking to meet the limit.
(now that I see it, I can't copy the existing post - it goes over the limit, as it apparently should!)
PLEASE!!! Make Bluesky iPAD friendly.
The ideal partner for your platform. Mobile, modern and popular with Democratic thinkers.
Just a coding effort for the iPad & Mac to really join in your success??????
Still 125 characters to go.
We don't need a verbal CV of the reporter, their driving record, or marital status when they are asking a simple Yes /No question.
Nor the same from the questioned. Yes or No.
So sorry this happened to u, Sister.
Your welcome 😘 N' HUGS

timer would declutter databases. 💫
It's also April 1st today.
SHOW LESS LIKE THIS

Do you remember Lynx (text browser)?
It was while browsing text only with Lynx that I discovered Esperanto in 1997 on this thing they called the World Wide Web.
Please fix or explain the blob error and the posting images error
Thank you BlueSky! 🩵💙🩵
We self confessed wind bags thank you.
🥰
(seriously, thank you)
Maybe embed a link, but omg, no streaming or long vids or anything like that.
A friend of mine sends me every freaking clip she finds on a chat and it's mostly some crappy tiktok/fb "reel" of some conspiracy nut. You have NO idea how much it bogs down chats.
pls do so we can remove unwanted followers without having to block or mute them, that would be wonderful
and pls do so we can turn off individual Rts.. some (like me) just rt a bit too much, but there might be other peoples Rts you wanna see
Thank you for everything
Now, the ability to edit would be nice. 🙏
As one who is regularly using all 300 chars until of course I don't appreciate the update. But I appreciate the Aprils Fool.
