The Twitter edit button has long been my answer to the question "what do a lot of people think is a great idea but is in fact very dumb".

I'm meant to retweet something onto my timeline that can later be changed to say something else? https://t.co/VmrDFvRMvN

With Twitter adding an edit button, I am guessing I will have to screenshot questions to answer them rather than “quote tweet” them??

Yes fine, but when can I edit other people's tweets https://t.co/sNDZejkBxK

This sentiment was, or is, a popular one.

Twitter has long had a superior edit button called “delete” which allows you to remove a bad tweet and repost a better one without anyone being confused about what happened.
