The engaging thread has people laughing out loud on the platform. Change may be inevitable, but it seems social networking site Twitter is going to fight that axiom as much as it can when it comes to its basic feature. Time and again people have been requested the platform for an edit button, but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears. Now, even though the platform addressed the issue recently but basically maintained its stand saying no to users. Soon, it triggered a hilarious conversation.
Out of the blue, arguing against the most-requested feature, Twitter wrote on the microblogging site: “You don’t need an edit button, you just need to forgive yourself”
you don’t need an edit button, you just need to forgive yourself

The tweet quickly garnered a lot of attention, with thousands of users and several brands joining the conversation. While some did side with the tech company saying a edit button will ‘ruin all the fun’ on the site, several others poked fun about the forgiveness message.
forgive, but never forget you can always photoshop it.

I tweeted “The best things in life come free. For example, my neighbour’s wife”. I actually meant wifi. I’m ready to forgive myself, but afraid to face my neighbor.
