> and any solution that tries to deal with those just ends up being equivalent to what already exists: Delete and repost.

I'd love this honestly. Even if it was just a delete and repost under the hood, generally I find I want an edit button just after posting and noticing all the typos.

As long as the interface interacted like an edit form rather than have me copy and then rebuild the tweet I'd be good to go.

It would be bad UX. Users would expect it to edit (keeping likes, retweets, replies, timestamp etc) but it would actually delete and repost which is a very different thing on Twitter.

That would by why I included my use case. Limit it to the first 2 minutes or whatever.

Users would get used to it within days either way.

Mastodon has a "Delete and repost", which deletes the post, and copies the contents to the posting field so you can edit and repost.

Twitter has users, can't beat that feature. I'll use Mastodon when it's worth the server admin haha
