MODERATORS
(because each thought comes with an extra one (thank god parentheses exist))
Hot take: All posts and comments should have a public "edit history", like wiki articles :)
No space left on device
All votes should be public, too.
They are.
ish
I mean.. lemvotes.org is a thing.
Piefed has the option to anonymise votes.
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.
save them... to the database?
Yes. But it is not an exponential growth if you only save the changes instead of the whole message oveg and over again.
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.
It only increases cost by the amount of data that was changed. That's usually not a lot.
git commit --amend -m "spellcheck"
Don't amend!
Least hot take
We need more PTB material. Mastodon notifies you whenever someone edits their post that you stared or boosted.
Yo really? Thats wild
(I'll probably still find mistakes to edit even after 5mins, lol)
Proceeds to continually edit the post every five minutes for the next ten years...
Finally, I constantly do this.
Man that meme took me some time to parse and comprehend lol
Being English my second language, the edit function is one of the reasons I love this platform so much. 🫶
look if I'm on mobile I just don't give a fuck
Typing acuracy is one of the compromises I'm ready to forgo if it means using a FOSS keyboard.
Fair, just correct them afterward.
I blame autocorrect enshittification.
5 minutes? That's even more generous than reddit's 3 minutes for a ninja edit.
Edit: but I'm so glad it's finally here!!
Edit2: I am not on .19.13 :(
bur then how will people know I'm not AI?
