@dansup I'm in the same camp; There's so many things going on in *key at once, and I'm finding it difficult to parse.
For now, I'm trying out the Classic layout. I'll see if that makes a significant difference, because I've been constantly bouncing back to Mastodon just for feeling drained by all the bells and whistles in calckey.
That said, I like the richness _potential_ displayed in calckey. (As long as I don't have to engage with any of the Settings. 😬)
