I personally hate rounded corners and shadows added everywhere. Makes most things look crappy and smudged.

    Both are useful, but at different times to different users. It should be easy to toggle between relative and absolute expressions of time.

      Yeah, I can see that this comment was made 15 hours ago. I don’t want to be given the date and time and have to do the math.

        I think “15 hours ago” is fine. That one is quite precise. Showing date as “1 year ago” is not helpful. It could be anything between 2021-10-06 and 2022-10-05. It’s a huge span. In that time Ukraine got invaded and the Queen died.

          That makes sense to me. Maybe it should measure up to 48 hours, up to 8 weeks, and up to 24 months.

        FYI if you’re using the standard lemmy UI, you can hover over (or long press on phone) the “15 hours ago” to get the precise timestamp.
