minus-square@MelonYellow@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish17•edit-28 months agoYes! I stopped caring about the edited mark. Why should everything be perfect at the first post? I edit for grammar all the time, fix my phrasing, edit for better flow, add things I forgot to mention, etc.
minus-squareSnot FlickermanlinkfedilinkEnglish6•edit-28 months agoI’d rather edit to fix my own mistakes than stand firm on making a mistake and thinking it was important to keep the mistake or something. The typos/mistakes absolutely detract from any points you’re trying to make.

minus-square@MelonYellow@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish2•8 months agoYeah I’m on Tildes and it does this! You get a 5 minute or so grace period. Nice quality of life feature.
minus-square@dingus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•8 months agoYeah I find most of my mistakes, I notice within the first few minutes!
