This seems so obvious to me - I can't believe anyone thinks the edit button would be a net positivehttps://twitter.com/biochembelle/status/1154409465367523328?s=20 …

On reddit there’s a robust culture of labelling the edits you make to a post. I think that could apply here. There’d need to be community guidelines in terms of “re-editing viral tweet to be an ad” or whatever, but I’m sure it could be done
Interesting! My feeling on e.g. YouTube is that editing functionality will be used mostly for good (95%+), only occasionally for ill, but that on net the bad will outweigh the good. But could be wrong.

One thing that makes Twitter a special case is the retweet. If B retweets A, then A edits their tweet, the modified tweet reflects on B as well as A. Not sure if there’s an analogous dynamic on Reddit or YouTube

Yeah that’s a bit of a unique situation. You could imagine a notification system for it though: “Your retweet has been modified. Review?”
