   I don't use Poast so much these days because frankly, it's unusable. Every time I'm scrolling the main timeline, I click a video, I get to watch 5 seconds before the timeline loads 20 more posts in, shoves the content I was watching out of view, forces me to scroll to find it again, and when I do and inevitably click "play" again, it happens all over again. So unless I remember to open each and every single post I want to interact with in a new tab, I never get to see anything.
   
   It's *infuriating* from a usability standpoint. Never seen a social media website do this.
   
   old.poa.st used to be a stopgap solution, but now that's gone, so it's just nonstop loading trash. FIX IT!
   
   Included below - video of this happening in real time. I'm not doing this. Poast is doing it automatically for some insane reason.

     @IAMAL_PHARIUS @NeonRevolt I know, I lose sleep over this bug. I've spent many hours trying to fix it and it doesn't make sense. I also can't reproduce it consistently. However I'm rewriting basically the whole data layer of the application at the moment, so that code will be different soon and maybe it'll be fixed.

     I wonder if it has to do with the size of the viewport. I noticed that with larger windows (like desktop), it happens mostly when you're scrolled within the first one or two posts within the view. On mobile, it happens even further down.

     @matty @IAMAL_PHARIUS @NeonRevolt For sure. It happens more often on mobile. I've hooked up my phone to a debugger and still couldn't figure it out.

     @alex @IAMAL_PHARIUS If this is a feature request Saturday, could you look into fixing full screening of spoilered video? It's impossible to make spoilered videos full screen, the full screen icon is always under the spoiler button. Thank you for your service.

     But clicking merge on my pull request doesn't require you do that to fix Soapbox 😔

     @NEETzsche @IAMAL_PHARIUS @NeonRevolt There are things you can control and things you can't control. How about you focus on things you can control.

     @alex Neon Noodle had a whole Qanon site devoted to the deep state being on Trump's side and ready to stage a coup then January 6, 2021 happened and by that evening he had deleted it all and set all his social media private.
