re: #21 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.

We deal with that here at LGF by having an ability to undo our “like” or “quote” (retweet). It’s not rocket surgery, people.

There is a real argument against it. With Twitter, you like something, it moves on, you don’t ever see it again. If edits are allowed, unless the edit is shown again like a new tweet, how do you know the person changed what you liked? Even if it is shown again, I think most people don’t read the entirety of their timeline anymore, so it’d be pretty easy to miss.

The potential for abuse is there and given that it’s Twitter, you can’t discount that. But like I said above, I could think of 2-3 ways to mitigate those issues. There may be technical reasons why they don’t want to bother, which is fine. Just means when I make a typo I have to decide whether to leave the damn thing up or delete and rewrite the tweet to correct it.
