Just more burden for interop between all kind1 clients, every new thing makes it harder to build a feature complete microblogging client.
In this case it doesn’t really break anything by not implementing it so it’s not too bad.
To do it properly would require a decent amount of UI work. I would want the ability to show that it was edited and show the original version.
I’m not philosophically against it. it is one of the most requested features next to deletion. Entire groups of people have left once they discovered there was no delete or edit, so may have to do it eventually.
People really want edit and delete. I wonder if it's a good UX to tell users the first time that they edit or delete that not all clients support these features and their changes may not be reflected everywhere? Is that too confusing?
I love the amethyst edit, I am aware it's not a true edit since a lot of people will only see the original things but it's great for stuff like typos.
Out of sight, out of mind.
