It'd be useful to make sure old topics don't become obsolete but it could also be undesirable behaviour for privacy reasons.

This was inspired by this post where the user tagged the post as "sugges" rather than "suggestions."
Since tags decline in utility with minor spelling mistakes like this, I wonder if there could be a way for nitpicky grammarians, like myself, to just go through an edit broken tags, add relevant tags, prune unnecessary ones, etc.
I guess it would be sort of a moderation responsibility, but I expect we would prefer they focus on content moderation. Tag editing is low-key enough that people with this responsibility probably wouldn't need to be vetted as thoroughly or held to the same kind of community standards of behavior that a mod would be. We'd just have to trust them to not be pranksters or abusive with it (e.g. making tags like "this poster is a doodyhead").

Question: can Tildes ever have something like the reddit terminal viewer?
The Reddit Terminal Viewer allows viewing Reddit on the terminal with Vim-like command. It's awesome. I wonder if Tildes is built in a way that would allow something like that.
