<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@nathandyer" class="u-url mention">@<span>nathandyer</span></a></span> Great post! I now feel for anyone living near a timezone boundary.</p><p>The big benefit of local time is that I get an intuition for what part of the day the other person is currently at. Is it lunch time or the middle of the night for the person I&#39;m messaging?</p><p>Though maybe the local time intuition can be replaced with the knowledge of what UTC time  &quot;noon local&quot; is for different parts of the world.</p>
