It's polite to justify and/or summarise an edit, because many platforms label edited posts and it helps reassure everyone that the conversation they're reading really happened.
There's a big difference between "edit to totally change what was said and make everyone responding to me look like fools or racists" and "edit to correct a typo"
Sure, but you can also just lie. No one lies on the internet.
Edit: grammar
I ~~ageree~~ agree, I think.
edited: spelling and ~~gtammer~~ grammar (added comma). (plus added punctuation)
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
