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.

Not you, the comment prior.

enshittification is user-negative changes which somehow benefit the software creators. I'm not sure relative dates qualify.
