    Now the real question is: what are you going to edit this title to to make the commenters sound crazy?

      That’s an excellent idea. I hadn’t even considered that.

    YES, and please everyone, add “[SOLVED]” to post titles if you’re posting about some technical problem and someone helped you figure it out.

      Yeah this is a great use of it. I’ve been reminding folks on [email protected] whenever I come across a title that could use an update (e.g., solved issues, typos).

      Original c/askLemmy title:

      “What is the most sexually depraved thought you’ve had about someone you were horny about?”

      Edited title:

      “Pedophiles of Lemmy, what kind of thoughts do you have about children?”

        See, this is a fun example.

        Unlike what we’ll actually see which is a bunch of generic thread titles being stealth changed to ads after enough upvotes.

    Do they prevent top posts from being edited to NSFW or an ad etc? Need to not poop for 3days — Now Sponsored by PF Changs™️

      I guess not. It could become a problem if malicious users misuse it.

      I hope there’s some alert that shows up to the mods (or even the users) if OP edits their title.

        Ideally there should be some version control so that anyone can go back and see the history of an edited post, but it doesn’t look like that is possible. You will see the pencil icon next to the post though

        An image of the pencil icon next to the post showing it is edited, with a mouse hovered over it which shows the time the post was last edited

    You can also edit the URL of link posts

        This is only better if you have absolutely no understanding of how dangerous it is for users to be able to bait and switch urls.

          I agree, it only takes one malicious user to change the url of a top post to exploit a vulnerability or to phish.

    Ideally, we should be able to view the full edit history, urls shouldn’t’ be allowed to change.
