One thing I'd like to see in a social media application is a "finite" stream.

Both #diaspora and #insporation as far as I can see show the "indefinite" stream that you can scroll to the past.

In this respect I like it much more how it is done in Telegram: I open a channel and it shows me the stream at the point in the past where I stopped last time and I scroll down to the present. It's reversed comparing to Diaspora. This way I'm just getting caught up and Telegram shows me the number of new messages in a channel so I know if there are any updates.

Does anyone else gets bothered by the direction of the stream?
