I think the fact that Twitter doesn't even have an edit button, a feature that's on pretty much every platform imaginable, is very indicative of the site's nature. It's a website that does not forgive and does not forget. Whether it be an unsavory remark someone made a decade ago (that they probably don't even agree with anymore), or even just making a simple typo, it's very clear that Twitter is not a place for those who make mistakes.

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

KZbin comments always have edit buttons in order to fix any mistakes, and it's pretty neat. The problem is that the "dislike button" in the comment section is more mysterious than I thought it would be.

[@Roverdrive_X]

@@poweroffriendship2.0 The comment dislike button hasn't worked for *years.* I heard at some point that it reduces the comment's visibility internally, but that could easily be wrong. People hated it when KZbin considered the idea of removing the video dislike button. But they already removed the dislike button from the comments a long time ago. The only difference is they kept the icon for you to click.

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

Nevertheless Twitter can go die It’s so trash even pewdiepie deleted it and you should do the same there’s no upside to it The only people who should even stay on there are the bad people because the only real upside to twittcrap is keeping the bad people where they belong, we don’t want them to spill everywhere
