No reply counts I could get used to, but no timestamps? Now we're in uncharted waters...
continued:Also removed the relative timestamps and reply counts. We’re number-free. Numbers introduce unnecessary bias. Now the focus is on the content.

Why do you need it? It’s just for stalking when someone was online and might bias to ignore older posts that could still be in /hottextloghotA quieter place for your thoughts. —not knowing the time also makes it easier to reply whenever you feel, less pressure. I don’t have time on my desktop either, hate time :p

Hm idk, various things. If someone finds posts from months/years ago, timestamps put them in context (what "current events" are on their mind &c). Also hints if it's still fresh in mind when you reply, or if it'll be a blast from the past. (Arg for YYYYMMDD, perhaps not HHMMSS.)

That’s what I’m hoping for! Resurrecting old interesting discussions based on their content. And also not ignoring posts that are not fresh, e.g responding to a “good morning” post. If you see “5h” you would ignore it. Now you don’t know. Let’s see how it goes for a few days.

I want to avoid the “rush” of living on the edge all the time. Want to slow things down, put some thought, make browsing a profile look like reading one’s thoughts like a book. To feel timeless.

I think this is trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist on this platform. I would predict that any sense of "timelessness" will come from #tlogenter to follow's plaintext-centricity and feature minimalism, not a lack of timestamps.

I personally enjoy the lack of timestamps.
But if this becomes a problem, maybe vague descriptions would be useful. "fairly recent", "sometime ago", "this is ancient", etc.

+1. The timestamp is critical context for a tweet. Microblogging is fundamentally a chronological log of messages. Removing timestamps from logs makes them unusable and inherently breaks the medium.
