> For this test, Tweets will be able to be edited a few times in the 30 minutes following their publication. Edited Tweets will appear with an icon, timestamp, and label so it’s clear to readers that the original Tweet has been modified. Tapping the label will take viewers to the Tweet’s Edit History, which includes past versions of the Tweet.
Right now, a reasonable trade-off; hoping it doesn't ever get more lax.
Twitter as system of record really is a thing. There's a very real integrity I feel when I was using it. I've long disliked the idea of edit tweets, but there's been much hullabaloo from those who absolutely positively must have it & who disparage the product endlessly from it (just delete & redraft), and this compromise puts an end to this griping, while also not savagely ruining the forward-direction-of-time integrity of the platform.
