Ask HN: Why is a user now able to edit their comment after a reply?

1 pointezekg3 comments

This has happened a few times now over the last couple days -- I'll reply to a newly posted comment, only to realize after 5-10 mins that they actually edited their comment after my reply, making my reply seem ... incorrect.

Is this a recent change to HN?

no, not a recent change.

I could've sworn that once a comment receives a reply, it can't be edited. I guess I'm just misremembering then. ty

you can't delete after a reply, maybe you were thinking of that.
