It is the year 2020. Humanity is ongoing poverty elimination, has developed cures for the world's biggest diseases, transports that allow going around the world in a single day, realtime communications that coordinate efforts globally and allows procedures like remote surgery, created life from scratch, went to the moon and is about to reach Mars... Our biggest challenge? Convincing people that allowing to edit tweets isn't impossible.

@xerz It's not that it's not possible, it's not it's not a good idea.
My issue with editing is this: you can have a post that goes viral, everybody like it and reposts it, but then the OP changes it so it says something completely different.
Another example is if somebody makes bad posts and people link to it, so the OP changes it so it says something completely different.
@realcaseyrollins OK so get this: you are allowed only 1-2 minutes to edit up to, say, 10 characters. And you put a diff showing off the changes.
@xerz That sounds better.
