haha...

nah, i have an idea though... the edits should appear as a series of sliders, so it shows the original first, and when you slide it, it shows what branches off from it... this way everything stays in context and the "no edits" and the anti-change-after-lots-of-share scam effect is weakened

if people edit, then you just click/swipe left to see the newer versions and it updates the children of that post

also consider the problem that happens when someone mentions a post, and then it gets materially changed like what you talked about... the interface should show the one that is linked, and this could be an after-original update, so if i boost your second version, in my boost post it shows the second version, but if i were to boost the original, it shows the original

retaining the context is really important i think... and allowing viewers to see the old versions is also a good thing, keeps people honest 

 I would use that to tell stories...

Once upon a time (swipe) there was a girl as tiny as a thimble(swipe) 😅 

 i like that a lot... let's get hzrd149 to implement it on nostrudel 

 as in, show whichever version is referred to in a boost/embed/quote, but show the slider arrows and make it a "slider" so on touch interfaces it can be swiped left and right, like one of those stupid time scroller things that are popular for landing pages, and make one setting "show original or show newest" in the settings and respect that in the display when the original is referred to... so if someone wants to see the newest, it shows the newest, but when you swipe, it changes the tree underneath it as well 

 lol it would be neat, but it really sounds like a different feature than an edit at that point, for me  

 it can do both!

 yup, it's just a new dimension for chat threads, that's all

better than some bullcrap about redacting your own bullshit
