I've thought about it over the years but there are also a lot of cases where it's better not to point a spotlight on things; if people post something they regret and later edit it out, and the effect isn't misleading, it's usually better to just let it sink into obscurity.

There are variations of such a feature that might strike a balance - for example only tracking edits once a comment has replies; or simply marking them 'edited' without saying what the edits were.

I just saw this dang and I apologize for my edit. It was not intended to mess up the next person’s as it was to add more context - but I recognize how it messed up their response. Sorry.

Appreciated!
