If you make a grammar/spelling mistake in your comment and realize later will you edit it to fix it? (lemmy.zip)

I know I will, but it also leaves an edited mark on the comments so I'm curious about your thoughts

It’s not a trial transcript, it’s a public discussion. Most people reading it care more about the subject matter than about the commenters, and I try to write and edit comments with that in mind. I’ll edit for spelling, clarity, further information, etc.—anything that might be helpful for anyone reading. The only edits I generally refrain from are ones that affect the context of replies others have already made.

Some folks here sure do treat it like a trial transcript. They'd rather prove you're wrong than teach you what's right. Really wish that culture would've stayed on Reddit. It's so incredibly worthless.
