Thinking about the way I browse social media feeds that doesn't really work as well with webapps, or even PWAs on mobile browsers

Usually when I'm scrolling down my feed (or timeline, or rebug dispensary, or whatever it's called) I don't like, engage with posts at the same time. Usually I open a new tab for any post I want to look at for more than two seconds, and then once I've reached the end of new stuff I'll go back and thumb through all those tabs. It seperates the curating from the reading.

Like I know the twitter app has bookmarks but that feels more permanent - higher friction - plus in twitter's case that just ended up becoming the private version of likes when they made likes public anyway. I feel like the ephemeral version that would match that browsing style would be something like a browse queue? One tap add, leave an annoying toolbar when you have stuff queued, tap it to look at posts one at a time, one tap to remove. But that's basically just reimplementing tabs

Anyway what I'm trying to say is the mobile twitter site is much nicer than its app for this reason even moreso than for the ad blocking reason
