Not sure if this feature is controversial or not, I've added a "Last seen" label:

I'd rather not have this information, but it's already out there, I just made it visible.

Everything you do on nostr is public, even if you store something encrypted it is still linked to your npub. Clients can prevent this with separate keys that are not linked to your npub but I'm not sure if all clients do this today.

Hopefully this at least raises some awareness about leaked activity on nostr.

Last signed and published event? Yea it’s ok I guess.

Yes but this is more about the less obvious ones, like saving a bookmark or adding something to a list, things people usually don’t associate with public activity.

If it’s on the relays and anyone can read it, it should be information explicitly shown in the clients in my opinion. Current clients aren’t doing any favors in not being upfront about info is out there. Thank you for making this explicit.

Isn't this dependent on what relays the viewer is reading from? If I'm reading from a relay that has Snowden's post from 40days old but not the one from 19days, will I be shown Last seen 40 days?

This would be cool if you could use this for filters. “Only show me people that I follow that have been active during the last 7 days”

At least do the time in blocks!
