> Deleting and reposting hurts and would eliminate engagement statistics. Maybe there should be a maximum number of characters edited. If I have liked/retweeted a tweet, and its author then completely rewrites it,I would want my "engagement" eliminated.
Also why not make editing available for n minutes? Perfect for typos.

An edit button does not make sense for a service like Twitter. There are way to many ways to abuse it, and any solution that tries to deal with those just ends up being equivalent to what already exists: Delete and repost.
> and any solution that tries to deal with those just ends up being equivalent to what already exists: Delete and repost. I'd love this honestly. Even if it was just a delete and repost under the hood, generally I find I want an edit button just after posting and noticing all the typos. As long as the interface interacted like an edit form rather than have me copy and then rebuild the tweet I'd be good to go.

> Even after it was proven that the story was true Where did you get that that story was true? It was mostly fake but with some elements of truth in it. The story itselve didn't even seem credible was my POV. Source?
The email authenticity was verified via DKIM signature. I'm not going to break it down point-by-point because you're just shifting the goalposts now. Twitter and FB let plenty of fake and exaggerated stories run wild when they say something negative about Trump. For example, the fake stories about Trump telling people to "Drink/inject bleach", the fake stories about him calling COVID a "hoax", and the fake stories ab…
> Many can't be validated. They are sent from domains that don't use DKIM to sign outgoing emails.
> There are other timestamps in the email headers/metadata, but they aren't validated by DKIM, and hence, could be forged.

Like I said: it contains elements of truth. Someone send a guy one email to verify that one explicitly...

Mastodon has this :-)

It would be bad UX. Users would expect it to edit (keeping likes, retweets, replies, timestamp etc) but it would actually delete and repost which is a very different thing on Twitter.
Users would get used to it within days either way.
You would have to be a complete idiot to try and build your revenue on something owned by Twitter. They will shut you down at any time, for any reason, with no recourse.

Mastodon has a "Delete and repost", which deletes the post, and copies the contents to the posting field so you can edit and repost.

That's what i was thinking -- this is Twitter's version of substack.
Me too. I’m really not optimistic about the content that Twitter will curate here; I worry that they’ll out-compete substack by peddling their usual outrage addiction, perhaps not right away but in time. The content that one might see on substack will be eventually buried on Twitter in exchange for the content that is most likely to make you click links. Here’s to hoping I’m wrong.

Substack seem to me to be genuinely trying to build a better online platform, so I expect they will build a better one (for reasoned debate rather than dopamine-drive outrage) than twitter.
