It doesn't work, you just have a new note and everyone else sees your old one. Even on Amethyst your old note flashes first
A user signs an event that they made a mistake and wants to change something about their post. I would rather see their edit.
It doesn't go against cryptographic verifiability. If they try to maliciously change the content, that's easy to call out since you still have the original signed event.
Deleting doesn't exist either technically. But it's still better UX for relay operators to delete posts that the user wants gone. And most do. It doesn't unsign the event. Anyone who has a copy can still spread that around, but it's just a basic courtesy to delete something that they want gone. Same goes for edits.
