Some users post posts with spoofed timestamp, and some clients will have issues with certain dates. Tusky for example crashes if the date is any sooner than 1 BCE (“year zero” in the representation).
I limited the range of what is considered a valid date to be somewhere between the years 1583 and 9999 (inclusive).
The numbers have been chosen because:
- ISO 8601 only allows years before 1583 with “mutual agreement”
- Years after 9999 could cause issues with certain clients as well
