TIMESTAMP FACT CHECK: they update every second until they hit 60 seconds and then only update once a minute (there is no reason for anyone other than me to have Already Known This)
i do also actually really like the idea of only indicating the number of comment threads, rather than the number of comments. much to think about
The benefit of comment counts is if I've seen the post recently I might be able to recognize "oh there's more comments now, I should take another look".
Does the backend track the last time users visited a thread? Could there be a "new posts" indicator instead of a number
Math is good, actually, as long as it's math that doesn't involve numbers
the new posts notification has escaped your wrath, but its days are numbered
