Slack took over the world in part because you could edit and delete messages.
I don't get why this isn't rolled out across messaging yet.

Messenger only got delete last year.
Neither have editing.
If ~all messaging apps sans IRC and SMS have message deletion why does Signal not have it?
It's like IT people live in a bubble. Why on earth would you not allow users to edit a sent message. It's like they believe some indoctrinated idea where a sent message is untouchable not matter what users want or some cargo cult ideas about IT security.
Slack gave users what they wanted, not what IT nerds wanted them to want. How in the 21st century can we not be able to edit sent messages? Are we connected or not?
I see. I definitely assumed it's deleting on both ends of the conversation.
Slack didn't win because of features, but because of marketing, free tier, and network effects. It never was and still isn't the best chat service when it comes to features -- the trainwreck of their threading implementation is one of the more prominent examples.
