One quirk of Lemmy is that edits and deletions may not propagate properly to every server, meaning you’re never guaranteed anything past the initial posting.
So how do you handle when you say something you’d like to amend, correct, or delete?
Do you:
- Edit your corrections directly into the original?
- Delete it?
- Add an Edit:?
- Put the original comment behind a spoiler tag or strike through?
Or something else?
I just edit without thinking twice, sometimes I add and edit: at the end but now that I think about it they’re more like and addendum than an edit, maybe instead I should write addendum.
People also use ETA, for Edited to Add.
I have serious issues with context dependent acronyms that can mean a dozen different things, even when the context is clear.
I don’t intend to use it, I have a full keyboard.
If you want to go full boomer, you can add Postscript:.
I’ve never seen ETA in this context until this thread and it would confuse me.
I had seen that on rare occasions. Having worked decades with aircraft arrivals, it was just wrong to me to use that, and I thought it was a mistake. Never saw it spelled out, now it makes sense. Learn something every day, if you’re not careful.
Never seen or heard.
