The idea kinda sounds more like dictatorship, people should have the right to edit their own messages and delete them if they realize that they may have sounded mean. It sounds more like a feature that would cause cancel culture type bullying for small stuff, making sure people "stay behind what they say" is not really a normal thing. We are all human, and humans make mistakes. It's human to make mistakes.
Some people use autocorrect and it can make stuff really awkward, or they immediatly realize after commenting that they shouldn't have wrote it and want to delete it... there are many reasons why someone should have the right to edit their own comment or delete it, i believe the issues mentioned are not valid enough to create a whole feature that could cause so many problems.
Right now, I feel like fluxer has more important features to focus on anyway.
An "artificial technical barrier" is often left in, or placed intentionally, to prevent people from doing something that would be to someone's immediate or eventual detriment, like a Chesterton's fence. I feel that the ability to edit and delete messages would have already been a permission on Discord, like sending or attaching files, had it not been judged a bad idea, and intentionally excluded, making this an example of an intentionally-placed barrier, not a technical limitation.
