    this is like a 2 year old meme at this point. Please don’t strip out the date when you take a screenshot of social media.

      “strip out” implies it was there at all in the first place. I don’t know how you include an absolute date in a screenshot when no absolute date is actually displayed. I guess maybe hover over the relative time and hope that whatever OS or screenshot utility being used doesn’t cause a tooltip to disappear

        fair enough; I don’t use proprietary sm anyway so I don’t know what’s common there.

          it’s just one of so many things about software and websites in the past 5 years or so, everything must always be a relative date, with finding absolute dates and times being way more of a pain in the ass than it should be.

          tiny but noticeable bit of enshittification :<

            I don’t think relative dates is associated with proprietary software or enshitification. I’m using Lemmy over Jerboa (both FLOSS and not enshitified) and it uses relative dates.

              I didn’t imply anything about licensing. It sucks no matter if its in proprietary or f/oss software.
