Mastodon basically automates this process by providing a “delete and re-draft” option in addition to the normal “delete” action. It deletes the post and then puts the text of it (and any attachments, if you had them) back in the compose box. Like Twitter, they’ve come down on the side of “edits have dangerous negative unintended consequences that would be too complex to mitigate effectively”.
