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 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.

@stagascreative technologist creator of textlogenter to follow If anything, a lack of timestamps would reduce the value of historical posts on here. Without a timestamp, I have no idea that I'm looking at a historical post to begin with.

I'd advocate for relative up to a threshold (1 day?), then just show the timestamp.

Makes sense to me. If you wanted to do A/B testing maybe show and hide the timestamp on the list page while still showing it on an individual post to see if it drives clicks 🫣

Honest question, not meant as a slight: does textlog have enough users yet to make A/B testing useful? IMO early stage apps/projects are best designed through the intuitions of the creator(s). User feedback is a critical input to those intuitions.
