Sure, but OP asked why the 'EDIT:' string on posts. In my 40+ years of online forum use I've only recently seen this habit on Reddit. I'm sure it exists elsewhere but this was my POV.

Most forums automatically add the edit string and the time of change and they usually provide a possibility to add an explanation. Here this doesn't happen so people add it manually. E.g. I have never had an account on Reddit, I do not visit it and I add it when it makes sense.
