A conundrum, o writerly friends!

Suppose scenes taking place at the same time, both in a social media setting. One character is flipping between channels or tabs or apps or whatever in order to participate in both scenes. How does one track what's going on from that character's perspective, in chronological order, without cluttering the story with mentions of changing tabs?

I'm kind of thinking for AO3 purposes I might left-align one convo and right-align the other, but frankly that'll be ugly...

—say. Does AO3 do columns?

So I just checked and lo, the Archive does indeed do allow both div and table tags, so that could be the way to go? I'm not sure how that would read if the scenes are very long ... or for someone accessing the Archive on mobile, for that matter...
