Gave up after 20 seconds waiting for the website to load. Is that supposed to be some retro 90s experience?

    HN is minimalism with less than 65kB resources to download. This is a deliberate decision, it works very well and it is usually very fast (not right now though).

    Mastodon on the other hand downloads 2.6MB resources to display what exactly? Some tiny images, three posts and an ad. That does not look like a winner.

      You can use any ActivityPub frontend you want to see the same content, it can be very light Pleroma for example.
