Hiding "Initial revision" on the Edits section of the Activity tab of the user profile
When viewing a user's Edits on the Activity tab of the user profile, it includes "Initial revision", which seems to me more like a posting than an edit:

![Edits section showing most rows are "Initial revision"](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/mr9lrc7fji2b63lm29lq7vptmh7d)

In the edit history of an individual post it is useful to be able to see the initial version, but on the Edits section of the user profile I would expect to see only edits, not initial posts.

Is this expectation the same for you? Would you prefer to see "Initial revision" included, excluded, or perhaps with a checkbox that allows switching between including and excluding?

The Activity tab also includes a Posts section, along with "Show all events". Showing all events results in 2 rows for every new post (a row for the post, accompanied by an adjacent row for "Initial revision").
