The cost/benefit doesn't make sense to me.
It's a supposition, I don't have first hand informations. But big tech social have huge social and legal pressures, they already have complex moderation system in place, I was not surprise if the use them in some other contexts.
I am more concerned about nostr staying a niche because we ignore user expectations
I worry about this too, it is not an easy journey. And that is why it is very important that these discussions arise to share as many points of view as possible, thank you for your accurate feedback.
Maybe we can agree on this: But maybe delaying events is indeed a good compromise between UX and complexity.
Sure, as I already replied you here yesterday I pointed out this exact alternative :)
Staying with the topic: why did SN decide to limit edits to 10 minutes and not leave them free? I suppose it was a reasoned choice; it could provide additional insights. Btw, it's a very good compromise, that unfortunately we cannot apply on Nostr.

Oh, right, haha

This was added before I joined iirc and I would guess the timer was added because we don't have edit history yet (/cc @k00b). I think if we had that, maybe we don't need the timer anymore? But I have to admit, I also like the "set in stone" nature of it and maybe we're too used to it now. Has the 10min edit timer became a big part of SN?
Or maybe we could allow 10min edit timer for "invisible edits" and after that we will show history. Backwards-compatible user expectations, lol

Do we have history now, just for the 10 min edit timespan? I used this edit feature, it's handy, it gives you the freedom to write quickly knowing that you can correct, but it also imposes careful follow-up because you cannot exceed the time limit.

No, there is no edit history at all. We literally overwrite the content in the database on edits (like we do for deletes).
