Right now, timestamps are "today" or a date.

How would you feel about using relative timestamps (x [block]s ago) that on mouseover provide the exact RFC3339 timestamp? Something like this https://git.alexwennerberg.com/flounder/file/utils.go.html#l104

for the merveilles forum it's exclusion was a design choice. in general i wanted to see what things would be like if we did away with as many as possible design patterns that focus on fostering addictive consumption and instead focus on making things align along more of a "timeless"/archival design trajectory. it's the long tail, and having discussions over time, that i think forums excel at
