I guess we need a preview or edit ability.
I would love an edit button! Especially with a delete option. Delete/edit are great for content creators. But they are not so great for repliers. No one likes it when they reply to something and then three days later its content changes to [This person used an automated tool to edit all of their posts to remove all of the original words.]
Maybe it would be nice if using the edit/delete options still kept the original available in a button that said something like "Edited 12/15/2021. View original."

I’m not too keen on delete but perhaps edit. I could also allow edits for a fixed time period after a user posts - like 5 minutes and that solves the issue with the replies.
