This is extra #meta, but I’ve noticed since coming back to masto last year that when I get a string of rapid-fire, extra-long replies from someone with a big char limit, I find them difficult to process.
I thought at first it was just length, but some people write long replies that come in more slowly, and those are usually easy to work with. I think it’s that most very long, very fast responses are just less organized, which pushes more cognitive load to the reader. Obvious, in retrospect!
