This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I find the full ISO date a bit distracting.
IMO the date is alright when you're seeing multiple ungrouped items from different days, or for closely inspecting when something was posted. But when a list has items that are mostly from the same day, I personally find the full date redundant and distracting. I mostly focus on the hours and am always bit afraid that I might "miss" that one item is from a totally different day, since my eye is in the hours/minutes.
I would prefer just the hour to be there, but what I find even better is the "X minutes ago" format (when everything is mostly from the same day), as even the full hour makes me do a bit of metal calculation.
- internet101010 3y agoEh... "x minutes ago" should really only be used if within the last few hours. After that I prefer exact timestamps. I really, really don't like seeing "yesterday" because I am not sure if it is the server's yesterday or my yesterday. I don't like going on YouTube and seeing "uploaded 1 year ago" when it can be any time between 1-2 years.
- cchance 3y agoyep its best to have the ago for say hours but once it gets past a month or so its better to have dates
