Why is nobody excited about these “yesterday”/“2 days ago”/“a week ago” labels?
Because they pretend to speak human language, but they actually don’t. For a human, yesterday is “at the day before”, “between 0am..11:59pm the day before today”.
No human uses “less that 24 hours” as the definition of “yesterday”. Computers, unfortunately, do. Add here that ... 1/2
... different implementations calculate “yesterday” differently (even on the same service) → lack of trust → less useful.
And don’t get me started on “12 days ago”. This is complete bullshit. No human thinks in terms of “5+ days ago”. Last week—maybe. But not this.
(don’t use “last week/month/year”, too — it becomes too vague. Use specific day)
