In the new SCN it does not matter much what is your timezone. Here is what I see for the most recent question:
Inspect element reveals that the site assumes that now it is Dec 7, 7:13 PM. Where I live at that time, it was Dec 7, 09:13 PM (I am logged on, but the script does not care about me). This means that yesterday text starts appearing at what the site assumes to be Dec 6, 2016 7:13:45 PM.
Is it logical? To some developers, probably yes.
Does it make sense from design perspective or from user point of view? No.
when I go back my activity stream, which is unfortunately not seldom as I can only see rejected content in my activity stream, then yesterday starts beyond the 24th hour no matter if that is in the middle of the day or in the morning or evening.
I always wanted a clear date and time instead of this nonsense. And for that reason I voted on the idea: https://ideas.sap.com/D39028
OK, I believe there could be a simple solution - change "yesterday" to "a day ago", like it already is in the "Notification" stream. It makes more sense IMHO as it just translates to "over 24 hours".
@Jeremy - I'm afraid you're right and "relative" time is becoming new normal. At least we can see the exact date/time after a few days, instead of "Long time ago". :)
