You can edit your comment by deleting the entire thing and reposting it. I find myself rather ambivalent about editing in context.

Does it leave a “comment deleted” post? I guess I have just thought (superficially) that I don’t want to contribute to making things messier than they can often get.

You mean because it can manipulate or just unwittingly change how “likes” or follow-up might be interpreted?

The best practice would be for me to compose and revise elsewhere and post later.

But the systems seem to pull for immediacy. And … ADHD doesn’t help. I never remember to do that until I see my typos or realize how I could have better phrased.

But you’re right: not as simple a set of issue as it may sometimes seem.
