Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?
Fix the spacing on messages on the Timeline. (including moving the read receipts slightly)
This happens in all Appearance styles (not just with Bubbles). I run into it daily and use a fairly large external monitor.

This will help alleviate some pain when the Threads panel is open

#### Why would you like to do it?
- Make the most of the space whilst still being readable
- Reduce odd looking white space
