@phocks painful as it might sound, unless I notice the typo straight away or the error really is very misleading, I leave it as it is

Fixing a typo on a post after people have liked or boosted it sends them all a notification. This is an annoyance, but a necessary one because the meaning may have changed

Personally if anything I've boosted gets edited more than 30 minutes after it was posted I just unboost it. I kinda wish that could be automated instead of me getting a notification

@chris_e_simpson @phocks but it can be seen also as a feature, if you want to add updates to the post, all people will be notified.
I used it when I updated an app to let all the people who starred/boosted the post with the previous version.

@allanon @phocks I can see how that can be useful, though there are "opt in" ways to do this such as using a separate account purely for important app updates that people can set to receive a notification on all posts. Sounds a little more work, but I have quite an aversion to unwanted notifications and I believe I share that aversion with a quite a large number of people

@chris_e_simpson @phocks I see your point, but what about if I clearly say "like or boost to receive notifications on updates" ?
I think it's fair with those who don't like to much notifications.
Anyway I agree with you that the user should have a switch to avoid further notifications from post updates.
