May I take this opportunity to ask folks to be a bit more patient as well? If you come up behind someone in the left lane, please give them a second to move over. I see you, and I will move over for you, but blasting around me on the right is dangerous.

How long you need? If you're not passing, you should already be out of that lane..just sayin'

So like, I feel like this shouldn’t need to be said, but enough time to put a safe distance between me and the car I just passed.

In this situation, I always put my signal on before I finish passing the guy on the right so that we don't run the risk of the guy behind me thinking that I'm not moving over. After I get a safe distance, I'll move over. If I dont do this, he will most likely thread the needle. The guy behind me probably gets pissed because I'm doing it too slowly, but oh whale.

No argument here, this is the way - but it’s worth mentioning that this isn’t good enough for a lot of drivers and they will indeed thread the needle regardless because they are (checks notes) stupid as fuck

Indeed. If I’m in that lane, I’m still passing someone. Instead of waiting for me to move over, quite often folks have blasted past me on the right the moment they get the opportunity. That’s what I’m talking about.
