the ability to edit titles is great. But the ability to edit the URL of a post is dangerous. (lemmy.world)

The url and title should both be locked after a post. The contents should be free to change, that way updates and such can be posted if necessary.

Comments can continue to work as-is, there is a similar danger there, but it doesn't matter nearly as much.
