I guess there’s still a need to be able to hide or delete versions as an author, e.g. if one accidentally doxxed someone by posting personal information. But outside of rare exceptions like that, there would likely be no problem of keeping the edits public.
The original version of it only appeared when a post had been updated with a “major edit” (a manual flag authors can set on post edits)
I do think it’s pretty dumb to not just let people read all the previous edits though, so I’ll look into fixing that soon hopefully.
