feature: static page update as opposed to live update of conversations on the page. Changes will be queued until the page is reloaded. There may or may not be notifications of pending activity updates depending on your notification preferences. Endless scrolling (append) is still performed either way. This only affects changed and new/unseen items being inserted into the page.
