@pandemona The online indicator is easily one of *the* worst ideas that Twitter has ever had.
Users: “Your platform is plagued by Nazis and bots. Can you ban them?”
Twitter: “We’re adding an online indicator so Nazis and bots know when you’re online and can better harass you.”

Edit button completely breaks the paradigm of Twitter, though. Also, unless an audit trail of edits is *publicly* available, it could easily be a tool for those Nazis and abusers we all want banned.

The potential for abuse is why I've disagreed with the idea of an edit button, but I think a public and obvious audit trail is actually the best way to make it work.

@jack still doesn’t understand why people prefer@tweetbot or@Twitterrific, he probably has no (or very little) sense of design and he should hire someone to help him understand. I mean this genuinely.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
