    My main issue with "New Twitter" — I start it up on desktop, I literally see... one Tweet per screen. Scroll down... one more Tweet per screen. I mean... seriously @Twitter? Why make seeing other people's content a chore?pic.twitter.com/lP21ii33sB

        My main issue with new Twitter is that it's fostering hatred just like old Twitter.

        This is what happens when you give your entire design team gigantic high-res monitors and what they're building looks great to them. /sent from my gigantic monitor, which allows me a luxurious two tweets per screen.

        Well I tend to find that most people don't really need extra monitors, just more screen space to do work on so I have 3 monitors but really, I can get away with one large monitor rather than 3

        There's a Chrome/Firefox plugin called GoodTwitter that forces twitter back to the old format. It forces the browser to trick Twitter (just Twitter) that it's an old Mozilla standard that's not compatible with the new layout, so Twitter serves the old style instead. Works great.

        Downsize your fonts in the (...) More menu to the left. It helps *a little*. I wholly feel your pain.

        Seriously, *this* is your biggest pet peeve about new twitter? Not the rampant censorship, deplatforming wrongthink, and bias in promoted and trending posts. SMH
