Buzz AndersenOne thing I am always surprised at when people discuss Twitter/Mastodon clients is that there are apparently still so many people who attempt to consume every post in their timeline. I pretty much gave up any pretense of treating my timeline like an inbox years ago.
(Not an argument for algorithmic timelines at all BTW. I just don’t care that much about rock solid timeline position restoration because I don’t even pretend to follow everything that happens on here.)
Betalogue@buzz I have honed my skim-reading skills over many years of information overload, and they are pretty good. (Proof is that I spotted this toot and I’m replying to it.)
You don’t care about TL position restoration or don’t understand the need — fine. Please let those who care decide whether such a feature is useful or not.
Simply taking the user back to “right now” is an extremely crude way of dealing with information overload. Surely developers can come up with better ways.
