Thankfully, I don’t see this behavior often on the Fediverse — not to say that it doesn’t happen, of course.
I can point out that it certainly happens on Facebook. And on Twitter, it definitely used to happen a lot — which is why they added a time limit.
I do think it’s something worth considering for Mastodon and Misskey.
@Linux I think the abuse you describe can't happen on the fediverse, since all the edits are public? You can see that the post was edited and when, so if the replies conflict with the current version of the post, you can go back and look at what the post originally was.
(Though storing edits is perhaps a implementation specific thing, Mastodon definitely does this, which is why I will personally edit posts)
Interesting. It must be a setting, because I do not see this on someone else's post I know was edited. 🤔
