I had a very good convo with @jack this weekend at Kanye’s bday and I think he really heard me out on the edit button.

bring tweet-editing as a present
-
(except don't. it is not a good idea)
-
Time-stamp the edits and all will be well.
-
Or a history button
-
Yeah, something like that.
-
If there is a "history button" most would still delete thire tweets if they make a typo. Honestly, I favor something like what Whatsapp has done. You can edit it in the first 5 min. After that you cant.
-
Honest folks wouldn't delete the tweet outright. I mean, a few would, and they'd still be able to if they had something they felt needed to be hidden. This way, you wouldn't lose your early RTs/likes/replies, but folks could see which versions were tagged by who.

I guess it all comes down to personal accountability.

Can you make a note about banning Nazis from here instead of banning the people they harass? Or do I have to be a millionaire throwing a party that you're invited to for that to be noted?

What if I think you're a Nazi

jack, casey and kim are right. all platforms that care about spreading truth over lies should allow editing and corrections. i've been strenuously lobbying youtube on this point as well.

No edit feature. Don’t do it.

(clears throat) from a Product point-of-view, editing removes authenticity from Twitter’s value proposition to the user, even if it’s as little as taking care of spelling mistakes. Users will lose fascinating insight into the thought process of other highly visible Tweets

How about deleting dormant accounts, so I can get the username I want? OR allowing the use of ‘.’ in usernames? Btw, I want
