Hot take: All posts and comments should have a public "edit history", like wiki articles :)

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

No space left on device

All votes should be public, too.

I mean.. lemvotes.org is a thing.

Piefed has the option to anonymise votes.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Federated votes already can be queried by instance admins, and running an instance on forked backend software (or Friendlica) plus providing a frontend like lemvotes.org, can allow them to be seen by anyone.

Do you want an exponentially growing database? Because this is how you get an exponentially growing database.

Just save the changes, ffs. We got tools for this.

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

git commit --amend -m "spellcheck"

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

save them... to the database?

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes. But it is not an exponential growth if you only save the changes instead of the whole message oveg and over again.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Right, but saving an edit history of every change to every comment is a geometric increase over just saving the edit to the original comment.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

It only increases cost by the amount of data that was changed. That's usually not a lot.

We need more PTB material. Mastodon notifies you whenever someone edits their post that you stared or boosted.
