I realise this could have its problems with abusive mods (although Lemmy records when people edit posts), but to me, it has a lot of benefits. Some communities have rules around how posts should look for clarity and/or aesthetic purposes. Sometimes as a mod I see posts that I think are fine, but could just be slightly adjusted to look a bit different or match up with the standards of the community - and I don't want to be anal and remove it over something small like that - but I would quietly edit it.

Nah, mods could set/change flair, but not contents.

Then again users couldn't change their titles either, which we can do here.
