Thank you!

Social media's use of time since posting of timestamps is so frustrating.

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 11 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I would so much rather just have a full timestamp. I can do the delta fine myself.

[–] harmbugler@piefed.social 2 points 17 hours ago

And most of the time I’m just using the delta to get to the timestamp.

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yes, but it makes sense in relation to other posts. It is just frustrating after longer period of time then a few minutes or hours, or when screenshot like this.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The layouts generally have room to state time in relation and the actual time. Even a simple date would be better than only relational. Most hide the real time in a hover over or click on the relational time whoch isn't captured in a screenshot.

Social media screenshots are so common it is time to update to show both be default.

But then it wouldn’t drive you crazy, and you wouldn’t sign up and find the post just to find out the actual time

And if you don’t make the conversion then that’s basically stealing /s ^but not really, they actually think like this^

I think the compromise is a visual indicator of age - color or an icon indicating recency, in addition to a good old fashioned date timestamp.

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'm not a fan of coloring for age of post. Usually the compromise is, when mouse hover it will show the actual date in a on hover popup. How about when clicking the time it changes to a timestamp (and back) or while mouse is hovering / touching the time it changes on the fly (without any hover tip, Edit: I just realized that most people don't use a mouse on their phone :D also this would require dynamic changing with JavaScript).

It makes perfect sense when using the website. The problem isn’t the timestamp, it’s the lazy people who share fuzzy inaccessible screenshots instead of links.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 19 hours ago

it makes sense to include the time passed since posting, yes

doesn't make much sense to not include the date and time posted
