 You know its not about control, Vitor, come on!

Edits are an imposition in all clients that centralizes the protocol.

 Why? Are you imposing kind 20 feeds on other clients with Olas? I wouldn't think you do. 

What's wrong with a feature people want? If other clients don't support it, they don't support it. I can give you a long list of things clients don't support, and that I would consider essential. Edits is the least important of these things.

 Edits overload kind 1s, creating conflicts in what people might see in different clients when viewing the "same" event. It's quite different from purely additive features.

 Deletions overwrite kind 1 too. Nobody cared for months. Some clients still don't.

 Deletions are either effective (the note is gone), or additive (the note is "deleted"). They don't change anything in place. The effect of a successful delete is the same as not being able to find a note, which has to be handled in any case.

 And for the record, I resisted deletes for years. I recently added them, because they do in fact appear to work pretty well.

 You will probably still find it on njump, except they changed something recently.

 Yeah, it was there a while ago when I originally did this experiment, and I think it was around in people's local Damus cache.

 Maybe one day you will also see how much edits just work really well.

 It could happen! And maybe someday you'll join the anti-edit masonic cabal.

 The option will always be there. 

If people agree with you, they can just not use the feature.

I don't need to make that call. My users are smart enough to make that decision for themselves.

 Edits do work really well in theory. But attackers cause that theory to be reworked.
