@cat can you repost this behind a cw on anti-homelessness please? :3

@vahnj tbqh that feels like it would be participating in the “out of sight out of mind” attitude which is prevalent

@cat well you're talking about anti-homelessness policies

i know several folks on here who can be triggered by reading stuff like this

it's about being respectful of folks not censoring :/

@vahnj did it

being able to retroactively add a cw to a thread would be a real neat feature for masto to support

@cat hmm that gives me an idea

what if post edits are not "edit post and propagate the changes" but simply "delete the post and apply the changes in a new post" and just limit edits to like, 1 time

@vahnj that could work too but I mean, the problem is threading I think

@vahnj I mean I feel like adding a CW is a difficult thing to meaningfully abuse but maybe I’m too optimistic

@cat considering you can just shove whatever text in it like a post, it's just as abusable imo

i don't remember what the limitation is on why we can't do post edits though

@vahnj I mean, yeah, and propagation of those updates (read: cache invalidation) is probably going to be a pain given Masto’s architecture
