What are your thoughts on Signal's policy for edited messages?

PurpleDime: > I wish it were possible to hide edits when the recipient has not seen the message. How would this be actually work? Even if the recipient has not yet read the message, their device has likely retrieved it and they may have seen the content in the push notification. It is poor UX for the recipient to not be able to see changes to a message they already have on their device and may have already seen. It would also entirely depend on the recipient’s client cooperating. If you are trying to hide something about a message you are sending from the person you are sending it to, you will have no guarantees that any measures will actually succeed because they may be using a client that simply doesn’t cooperate while reporting it does. The closest feature Signal has already to this threat-model-wise is disappearing messages, but disappearing messages provide a benefit when communicating with non-adversaries when both want to ensure a third party couodn’t seize a device and review the entire chat history. There is no such benefit for this feature, it would only be for the purpose of helping you against an adversarial recipient, which Signal is not capable of actually providing safety against.
