Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/cypht-org/cypht/issues/444

For a message, I see: Date | Mon, 26 Oct 2020 20:31:35 +0000

Would be more friendly to show in my time zone. But time zones can be tricky, especially with DST.

Thoughts?

I think the default should be UTC. I'm though not opposed to some additional opt-in configurable behavior like showing the current (guessed!) time zone etc.

So maybe while we are at it, we have three options:

  • guessed time zone
  • time ago (like now)
  • UTC time

we have a timezone setting that if unset defaults to utc. IMO we should just use that (and include time ago in addition to the timestamp).

@marclaporte check out the latest master and let me know what you think. Don't forget to set your timezone in the general settings.
