save them... to the database?

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yes. But it is not an exponential growth if you only save the changes instead of the whole message oveg and over again.

Right, but saving an edit history of every change to every comment is a geometric increase over just saving the edit to the original comment.

It only increases cost by the amount of data that was changed. That's usually not a lot.
