Mastodon - Extra Uses for Delete/Redraft ?
.
Mastodon's Delete/Redraft is a nice and simple tool that can be used for various reasons.
.
The simplest is when you realize there's some small typo, or the wrong image was attached to a post. With Delete/Redraft, a quick fix is possible without having to re-enter the text, or to copy it to Clipboard, before using a Delete, then a full new post (or new reply to whichever post it related to, if that was the case).
I find this to be one of the RARE cases when Mastodon offers me more functionality than my Pleroma account -- where Delete/Redraft is NOT available (more on this later in the article).
So let's see how we can use this feature in more elaborate ways? Some more Advanced Use Cases for this nice tool.
@zleap Glad to hear that, Paul. Pleroma is moving to allowing post editing, there's discussions in the Git already and the project leader is involved in them.
Won't happen in mastoland though.
So, we got to use what's available if using a mastodon instance.
