@Full_marx OMG, click on the Local feed, the Federated one is impossible to follow. Sometimes I hold on the scroll bar on the side, and then I can actually read something. But I can't stay there long.

@Full_marx Another factor --- I think the common, one liner format from people trained by twitter to fit into 140 chars or less is even more damaging.

A longer post in that feed would give you a visual anchor, somewhere to stick your eyes to, a pause.

Those one liners, zingy and so frequently obscure posts are very distracting, and a zillion other ones follow in a blink.

@Full_marx My solution was to mostly ignore it and just follow local timelines of select instances. Unfortunately it seems that most clients don't make it easy to do that.
