I know I will, but it also leaves an edited mark on the comments so I’m curious about your thoughts

Yes! I stopped caring about the edited mark. Why should everything be perfect at the first post? I edit for grammar all the time, fix my phrasing, edit for better flow, add things I forgot to mention, etc.

I’d rather edit to fix my own mistakes than stand firm on making a mistake and thinking it was important to keep the mistake or something.

The typos/mistakes absolutely detract from any points you’re trying to make.

One thing I wish Lemmy had is ninja edits, where editing a comment within maybe 30 seconds will not show the edited mark.

Yeah I’m on Tildes and it does this! You get a 5 minute or so grace period. Nice quality of life feature.

One time, a particularly miserable individual on here told me that I shouldn’t make typos, if I’m going to post a controversial comment.

Nevermind that my comment was supposed to be friendly banter, but obviously, they didn’t actually care about that. They just needed to put someone down, so they could feel better about themselves.

But yeah, that really made me want to leave spelling mistakes in every comment I post. Unfortunately, I’m actually extremely anal about spelling, myself…

I’m so OCD that I once edited a comment from months before. Someone replied and I noticed I had typed its instead of it’s and I just could not let that stay.
