  Thank you!

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

    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.

      The layouts generally have room to state time in relation and a screenshot. 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.

        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).

    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.

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

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

    But that’s perfectly fine if you’re not screen grabbing and posting elsewhere?

    • mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca ⁨4⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

      no, it’s not just show me the damn time it was posted. I hate when only relative information is given.

      So then what you’re saying is it’s not fine. Cause screenshots of Twitter is basically all the internet is these days.
