editing can be entirely client side (“lyle submitted an update to this post”). so can deleting, but my point is deleting is pointless if you can’t actually delete. client side edits are actually useful and also helpful in many situations instead of deleting.

I think a lot depends on the messaging that clients provide to users around these actions. Ideally it can be kept as simple as possible without committing to something that a client can’t commit to. A client can commit to a feature called “edit” without committing that old versions were guaranteed to be removed/buried by all relays.
