    Youtube 2012 loaded in 1 second on a 5MBit line. HTML, CSS and JS for a page was a few hundred kilobytes.

    You can profile the current “responsive” version in your browser. It might not look horrible but it’s a technical abomination. I doubt it’ll even load anymore in a browser from 2012.

      100% certain that if they kept their 2012 UI, we’d be complaining about how outdated their UI is.

        No? That would be true if we were the Twitter community. But, for Lemmy, I am pretty sure most people that are on Lemmy fancy Reddit’s outdated old.reddit.com UI as well because it’s more simple. Things are much lighter, but still work.

      Well luckily we don’t use browsers from 2012. Thanks god for that. Modern browsers and web standards are so much better.
