Using bp_message_thread_last_post_date. Does anyone know how to create a filter to change the time format from October 16, 2020 at 4:01 pm to Oct 16?

I ran across this article but can’t make heads or tails of it.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45837606/how-do-i-customise-the-last-reply-timestamp-in-messages-in-buddypress

add_filter( 'bp_message_thread_last_post_date', 'fluffyKittenDate', 10, 1 );

function fluffyKittenDate($oldformat) {
   // reformat date contained in oldformat here and return the new value
 }

I’m not sure what to place as the new function and if I need to change $oldformat to something else.

Thx
