After years of the typo-prone masses clamoring for an edit button, Twitter has finally released one. Let’s not even think about the ways bad actors can abuse this and spread misinformation or whatever, let’s just think nice happy thoughts about an edit button. The fact that this happens one day after Elon Musk agreed to pay full price for Twitter? Look, I’m not here to speculate, I’m just here to chew gum and make typos, and I have nothing.
For now, the feature is available to people who pay for Twitter Blue, the $5-a-month service most people would never want to pay for in a million years. Me? I do it because I’m a disgusting worm who loves to tweet. Also, I like the “featured articles” feature that tells me what articles my friends are tweeting and the “undo” feature that gives you a few seconds after sending to catch typos or bad ideas.
A word of warning: Editing your tweets will let people know you’re actually paying for Twitter Blue, which is potentially more damaging to your reputation than a typo or stupid tweet.
