Love waking up to find out six hours ago someone edited a toot I’d boosted to say something wildly different and kinda problematic. There should be a limit to how much you can edit toots that have been boosted. Fix a typo? Absolutely. Totally change the content? No
@joannaholman oooo that's not good. For some reason i thought edit function was only usable if no one had boosted yet. Maybe I just invented a great feature!?
@jedsetter it’s possible some servers have worked out how to set up stricter rules but the standard is it lets you edit and then notifies the people who boosted you of the edit
@joannaholman@jedsetter maybe there should be an opt-in for keeping your boost after the edit. As in "so and so edited a post you boosted. Keep your boost? y/N"
@stib@jedsetter as is you can easily unboost it. I think the big problem is a lot of people aren’t here all the time and/or are flooded with other notifications so a maliciously edited boost could easily sit on their profile for days before they notice
@joannaholman@stib@jedsetter Yes. The default could be that an edited post is Unboosted and Unfavorited until someone clicks they want to keep their boost / favorite. No problem if someone doesn't get around to saying "Yes" I want to keep it.
