the ability to edit titles is great. But the ability to edit the URL of a post is dangerous. - Lemmy.world

1. I create a well crafted post to a normal site that gets 10.000 upvotes. 2. I change the URL to a malicious site. 3. ??? 4. Profit

I don’t know how to crosspost properly.

I think this is a serious design flaw. If you agree please upvote the post on lemmy.ml community for visibility

    I like the ability to edit, but agree that some kind of limitations should be on it. Requiring mod review of a URL change would, at least, put one level of check into the system. The other option would be to simply allow only mods to change the URL. That doesn’t prevent a bad actor who is a mod, but that seems less likely than a standard user.
