I am not sure this will work as intended since part of the problem is that most of the lurkers who read the original and never interacted with it beyond that have already moved on to something entirely different by the time any mistake admitting, forgiveness,... happens.
The article suggests that this is solved by repushing the original content with the mistake flag but I would argue that a notification may even be appropriate. Similar to how mastodon sends notifications for edits.
I understood its suggestion as limiting the new notification only to people who interacted with the original post.
