> Deleting and reposting hurts and would eliminate engagement statistics.

Maybe there should be a maximum number of characters edited. If I have liked/retweeted a tweet, and its author then completely rewrites it,I would want my "engagement" eliminated.

Also why not make editing available for n minutes? Perfect for typos.

That's probably an even better approach, though famous people may have a lot of engagements during that time.

Maybe just make editing work like deletion/repost: Remove all likes a retweets. Then after n minutes it becomes an unattractive thing to do.

Because if you immediately notice it, delete and repost works just as well.

no way to prevent just adding a 'not' while still allowing sensible editing.
