I get what you're saying and actually sort of agree, though the counter-point is that the horizontal layout gives you a clear start and end to each post and can make things easier to follow.
I guess the other sentiment would be "if it ain't broke don't fix it", but as much as I might joke about it I'm not totally resistant to change, just seems this switch-up genuinely isn't working out too well (as opposed to every time they change the Facebook layout and everyone hates it for a week and then forgets about it)
From a design perspective it makes sense that since the layout here is pretty wide you want the bulk of the width to be dedicated to content (in this case posts), but on a narrower / mobile layout the vertical separation is a no-brainer.
I'd offer to lend a hand if you need it, but even with Dazz being AWOL you guys obviously know what you're doing without me butting in and waving my design sensibilities around.
