Playing around with the idea for an "edit" button for Drops...especially blog Drops 🤔
A lot of people want edit buttons on Twitter etc. too but they must be carefully managed. If you like something, then it is edited to say something entirely opposite, what is it that you have liked? The original or the edited? There has to be very careful signalling about what changed and when.

You're spot on! I've thought about this in the past & some options are if a Drop is edited:
- Remove Likes/Ripples
- Notify users of edit
- Have a "history" changes
- Limit edits to a small time window
- Only blog Drops editable
Each of these have pros/cons. Could do a combo of multiple. 🤔
Going back to this a bit... What is the exact difference between a ripple and a like?
