Often on bsd.network, I will favorite a toot, go to boost or reply to the toot, and then end up clicking on the media card that just popped under my cursor as I clicked.
I have heard the explanation that the delay is because of a random delay inserted into the fetch so the fediverse doesn't DoS the website mentioned. OK.
I'd recommend that either:
Save room for the card to appear so it doesn't move the user buttons.
or
Don't display the toot until the card is generated.
I suppose another alternative would be not to refresh the toot while the mouse buttons is hovering over it.
