Not just microblogging. This is primordial user experience. If I need to wait multiple seconds for a post to load... I’m gone before your content has fully loaded.

Only fans, and people purely focused on making bucks, will tolerate and suffer that experience. 3 Seconds to “mark as read”? Geez, what era do we live in? That’s 1998 server performance. Not millennial will swallow that shit.
