Clients can begin to offer a "quiet reply" mode that uses NIP-22. Users can opt-in to that when they don't want their reply to show up on their feeds to everybody (and accept that at least for now it might not show up for the thread author either). I would probably use it a lot.

I have been thinking about writing a client that would timestamp messages as sent on the current date in 2021 or something. could be fun, partitioning content by epoch. It would also screw up any idea of the authenticity of old posts

That's stupid. Nothing stops a client from generating notifications anyway.
