It turns out there are some disparities in timestamp handling across the sites that were broader than I was aware of. Summarized as follows:
EST = eastern standard time (no daylight savings time applied)
EDT = eastern daylight time (daylight savings time applied)
CST/MST/PST = central/mountain/pacific standard time
CDT/MDT/PDT = central/mountain/pacific daylight time
qanon.pub and anontools.xyz always use EST on the posts
qalerts.app always uses EST for posts 1 through 3018, posts 3019 and later always use EDT
qposts.online considers the time zone of the user's system and for posts 1 through 3018 shows the time in the standard time version of the users time zone, posts 3019 and later are shown in the users time zone with daylight savings applied
Which kinda blew my mind because lord only knows how many times I've searched timestamps on these systems and not understood that.
The most extreme consequence of this seems to be on say, post 3018, where the date of the post actually can change depending on your computer's time zone.
The good news is that if you carefully examine the timestamp, all sites seem to correctly show what they are using.

Something unexpected turned up to me from a thread by u/ValueFuckingDeep
