    Edit: a word

    Am I crazy for finding this unnecessary? I’ve never cared about an edited comment, let alone the reason why a person edited it.

      IMO from personal experience I tend to half care.

      I personally wouldn’t leave in, “Edit: a word,” but if I change the substance of a comment in any meaningful way I like to leave an edit to say what changed.

      Particularly for when someone already replied to my comment or may already be replying to my comment. I would be afraid of accidentally trying to gaslight someone lol.

      Maybe it is. I always considered it a courtesy since otherwise it can be difficult to see what was edited. It’s from my reddit days.
