the ability to edit titles is great. But the ability to edit the URL of a post is dangerous. (lemmy.world)

I'm not talking about the title but the actual page a post links to. Your idea to mark edited URLs is great, though.

Or always crosscheck the hyperlink in title or body with an open-source malicious site database and flag all malicious sites once and for all?

The internet is in flux. Once and for all is not possible.

I see! Thanks for clarifying.
