    Hey comrades just some food for thought:

    Previous megathreads have had the date structure of Nov 12 to Nov. 19 or similar, where as we now have what may look spiffy, it is read by a text to speech generator as ten twenty eight to onehundred and thirteen.

    so while its not only in a date format that’s backwards to people outside usa, its also potentially real confusing for people with limited vision

    i think for archival purposes as well, itd be good to standardise this, the previous Month, XXth was a good compromise (I’d also favour including the year)

    I guess this impacts the date structure in the above comment too.

    probably a discussion to be had on the matrix, for people who are more actively doing the work
