One quirk of Lemmy is that edits and deletions may not propagate properly to every server, meaning you're never guaranteed anything past the initial posting.

So how do you handle when you say something you'd like to amend, correct, or delete?

Do you:

  • Edit your corrections directly into the original?
  • Delete it?
  • Add an Edit:?
  • Put the original comment behind a spoiler tag or strike through?

Or something else?

Just basic internet etiquette, I would like to believe people are aware and follow it, but I know that in reality the majority don't. The fedivers doesn't really have rules other than the local community rules.

Grammatical mistakes, just edit it, no one really cares.

Changing the content or adding content, a quick edit explanation is polite but not required.
