If it's an issues with people abusing post editing for their own nefarious goals then a good solution might be an "Errata list/sheet" feature. This is something that publications and textbooks will include if the originally published text contains errors or factual mistakes. The errata will contain the original mistake plus the fix or corrections for it. How would this be different from my initial ideas? The way I imagine it is you click a button to fix some errors or mistakes, then you get prompted to select (not edit) the text from your OP where the mistake/error is, then you get prompted to input your correction. After finishing, your mistake and its correction appear at the bottom of your OP, along with other mistakes & corrections. To ensure that people don't make an entirely new post within their correction, a character limit can be added per correction. Also. corrections could be made uneditable Pros of this idea: it's closer to the original vision for soj.ooo, minimizes abuse, and makes it clear to everyone what the Errata sheet/list is. Cons: it's not very flexible, the feature could become convoluted if not done well and consequently it would be hard to get right.

Yes all good points it is good to brainstorm ideas. To be honest one of my favorite things about reddit i miss was live game threads. Where someone posts about what is happening in a sports game or event live. Useful for when you cannot watch something. Live game threads require hundreds of edits sometimes. So im not necessarily against edits. Its all very tricky😩
