Hot take: All posts and comments should have a public "edit history", like wiki articles :)
No space left on device
Do you want an exponentially growing database? Because this is how you get an exponentially growing database.
Just save the changes, ffs. We got tools for this.
git commit --amend -m "spellcheck"
Don't amend!
save them... to the database?
Yes. But it is not an exponential growth if you only save the changes instead of the whole message oveg and over again.
Right, but saving an edit history of every change to every comment is a geometric increase over just saving the edit to the original comment.
It only increases cost by the amount of data that was changed. That's usually not a lot.
All votes should be public, too.
They are.
ish
I mean.. lemvotes.org is a thing.
Piefed has the option to anonymise votes.
Federated votes already can be queried by instance admins, and running an instance on forked backend software (or Friendlica) plus providing a frontend like lemvotes.org, can allow them to be seen by anyone.
We need more PTB material. Mastodon notifies you whenever someone edits their post that you stared or boosted.
Least hot take
