Old habits die hard, but there's Reddiquette which needs to be revived, and some which needs to die.

Many "golden-age" redditors remember a time when downvoting was reserved for hostility, not a different opinion. For the sake of our growing community I would like to implore everyone to be awesome to each other.

However, this place is not Reddit.

  • We don't measure in bananas here.
  • We don't need to append "edit: typo" to edited posts and comments.
  • if you see something which is worthy of a downvote: down vote and move on! Don't engage with it and feed the algorithm/engament machine so other people are exposed to it when sorting by active.

You misunderstand. I'm not doing it so that people know that I made a legit edit, I'm doing it so people know what the legit edit I made is.

but closing with “edit: added info” is not very helpful.

Who is doing that or arguing for that? Vague edit descriptions aren't terribly useful, and I'm not claiming otherwise...

    Okay I get you. I thought you were literally typing "edit: typo", as opposed to something like "edit: she was my sisters friend"

    I guess we both misunderstood each other lol. I wasn't implying that was your argument, it's just something I find annoying.

    I mean, it depends on the context.

    Did I make a post, have a lot of people get upset because I worded my post poorly? In which case, a I might make a clarifying edit like "edit: she was my sisters friend" so that future people that see my post don't get confused.

    Did I accidentally type "there's" instead of "theirs"? I'd probably just edit it with "edit: typo". Not because people care if I made a typo, but because I want people to know that it wasn't the first type of edit

    I agree the context is important, and the examples of rewriting large paragraphs justify clarification, both for new people and returning.

    But the original point I made was that you don't need to post "edit: typo" here on Lemmy. We don't have edited post/comment tags, so nobody would know if it's just typos

    It's really not that big of a deal anyway, I was just thinking of redundant examples of Rediquete to drum up the conversation.

    Posts show as edited in many 3rd party apps and on other platforms

    Edit - And in Lemmy too!

    FYI, I can also see an edit to your previous post too, directly in Lemmy!
