There are fixes to this though.

Limit the time the tweet is editable, and postpone publishing tweets until that timer has run out.

Or show a history of what the post has looked like.

The former would completely negate the point of editing vs. deleting which one can already do.

The latter... perhaps, I guess? But then why bother? Are people so desperate to keep their internet points proxies by retweets and likes that they can't fathom reposting if there was an egregious error?

To me the whole exercise is one of malicious populism. It's an idea that appears liberty-generating on the surface and is used to gather a mob but has no real utility.

Enough people want the feature, whether you see the point or not.

Or just make edit button append text at below tweet, immediately visible in contrast to next tweet in chain.

Why not both? If you want to edit posts after the initial deadline, that could be the next step.

Yeah, normal editing for X minutes, then append only seems to be good solution.
