Is anyone else disturbed by the highlighted instances in the Home feed? I keep reading those instead of the Toot.

@agterrane I’m not even sure what you mean. My home feed seems easily readable, I think. What am I overlooking?

@agterrane @pwinn
That is indeed a ticker thing. I thought that got shutdown? I remember a case about a month ago where people got huge slowdowns on Qoto because that service shut down and people loaded Qoto slowly as a result.

I've never used those kind of themes as I found those tickers highly annoying. I've switched to Mastodon Default Dark a long time ago.

@trinsec @agterrane

I thought the tickets were broken too, that’s why it took me a couple of minutes to remember what was being talked about

@trinsec @pwinn Thank you both. I can't read dark, it took a couple of tries (I FORGOT TO SAVE CHANGES). 😂

@agterrane @pwinn Read dark? You mean you can't read a dark theme? That's not a problem. There should be plenty of bright themes without tickers.

@trinsec @pwinn Thanks, I finally found one after trying one after another and forgetting to save. It's just one of those days.

@agterrane @trinsec

I'm pretty sure qoto-no-tickers is exactly what you've been using sans the bright instance ticker bars.

@pwinn @agterrane

I believe so too. When people experienced slowdowns because of the ticker shutdown, @freemo moved all the people from the old default-with-tickers to the new default, which is qoto-no-tickers.

Some people might've been overlooked when they switched themes on their own before or something like that.
