I didn't realize this until very recently, but if you post here and then make edits to that post, what you changed isn't really gone but stored in the post's history, a kind of wiki which is accessible to others. Feeling dumb, I asked a couple of users if they knew this and they were like "duh," but it was news to me and I suspect many people likewise didn't read the manual.

And then there's the question of how/whether your update to the post is going to be reflected on all of the other servers that federate with this one.

While I understand and admire the radical transparency of this setup, it can be problematic to try and redact something from a post. This happened to me recently and the best advice was delete and repost, as opposed to the built-in "delete and re-draft" option on a post.
