I’m with you on some degree, though I do think there’s something to be said for “thinking before you post”. No one is infallible, that’s for sure. The convenience of the edit button helps with fixing mistakes of whatever kind. But no edit button forces you to be extremely careful with what you say.
Also- if politicians were to ever adopt Nostr like they did with Twitter (perhaps by necessity once we hit critical mass), it would either force them to be careful with what they say or keep them from backtracking on what they DID say. Ultimately, it’s about accountability for words and thought, in my opinion.
