I had a bit of a different and strange experience.

I made a long post and it appeared on the platform. I went back to fix a spelling error but after I did, the post got replaced by some strange symbols and the old and new spelling. I guess what was recorded was just the info about the edit, but not the original post somehow.

I tried to salvage the original version through steemdb, but didn't manage to do so. In the end I wrote the post again (hopefully a bit better).
