@mykd I've never seen it work, so the devil's in the details, but I was running an instance until recently, and that was in the change log/release notes. They just need enough servers to be at the current version to understand how to deal with the edits. The Federation concept makes this particular thing a little more tricky, since all the servers out in the world have to have a way to know about and propagate the edit.

@mrbitterness I can definitely see evidence of changes to the API to allow edits to be propagated, so the button could be well on its way. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/16697 You do raise an interesting point though. How will such changes get managed in the future as the number of instances increases, and inclinations of their admins diverges. Does the #fediverse have the required strong #governance and #compliance structures in place?
