The discussion addresses the limitations of the full post thread editor, noting that certain editing functions, like paragraphing, are unavailable when editing existing threads. Users are encouraged to explore the editing tools by tapping the three-dot menu, which reveals additional options. The conversation also highlights the term "vertical ellipsis" for the three-dot icon. Overall, the thread seeks to clarify editing capabilities within the platform. Understanding these features can enhance user experience when managing posts.

Apparently, and quite reasonably, that is called a "vertical ellipsis".
