(Unaffected by this).

Found it the reverse chronological order (with timestamps being a smaller/lighter font, at least on mobile) to have caused extra thinking, which, for a status, seems undesireable.

I get wanting to expose the latest thing first, but the "top-posting" style seems intuitive. Perhaps, as a compromise, a status page would have a "Latest" block at the top, with the timestamp prominent, where the latest known status would be placed by whatever makes the updates, but the updates themselves are in the chronological order?
