hey, people.

both “edit” and “delete and redraft” are accessibility features.

if you see someone delete a post very shortly after creating it, they are almost definitely doing a delete-and-redraft. if they edit, you can see the change pop up live.

speaking for me as a person with both adhd and varying levels of brainfog, i use both features ubiquitously.

i edit for clarity, to add a thought that i forgot, to correct typos or places where my brain randomly banana the wrong word. sometimes also because a picture or link didn’t work the way i expected it to.

no matter how much i proofread, (and the more upset or excited i am, the more likely i am to forget doing that) there will never be a timeline in which i am not constantly editing or delete-and-redrafting my posts.

for the simple reason that i am disabled.

stop being fucking ableists, get off your high horses, and work up some patience to wait while a confused person is clearly in the process of figuring out their thoughts.
