So we can edit tweets. Or can soon. 

One suggestion:

Replies appear under the edit to which theyโ€™re applied. 

That means your previous edits, if they have a reply, will appear unedited in othersโ€™ timelines. But if someone clicks that tweet, some UI that shows it and its current edit would appear. 

Would that drop quick, pre-edit replies from the OPโ€™s thread? Potentially. Now you could dump replies with an edit. 

Maybe you keep the replies but group by (and clearly indicate that they were added to) a previous version of the tweet. 

Itโ€™s a complicated problem, but there are deliberate and maintainable solutions.
