I had meant in addition to the regular Lemmy UI as something cool for people to use if they want to... not force everyone to use it 🤣. When I tested lemmy.world vs old.lemmy.world just now, respectively, I got 14.31 seconds vs 6.98 seconds with 32 requests each and 1.5MB vs 4.8 MB transferred (all this was done un-cached in Chromium). So on my end, old is heavier, but also faster.
Regardless, I just think that the old front-end is cool and retro looking, and I was wondering if others here thought the same or not.
I would be interested in seeing that between lemmy.world and old.lemmy.world. Again, speed wasn't the reason why I mentioned it, I just thought it looked cool and was wondering if people would be interested.
Edit: see here for my comparison of Lemmy UI vs MLMYM. In short, old is faster with Lemmy.
It does seem a little faster... not that that would be the main reason to host it (and to clarify, I wasn't suggesting getting rid of the default by any means). It just seems like something interesting and slightly retro and I thought people on here might be interested in it.
Around 2019, Malkin began to distance herself from conventional conservatism and instead publicly support members of the extreme right, including Nick Fuentes,[3][4][5] as well as other white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and Groypers, including Identity Evropa leader Patrick Casey.[3][5][6] In November 2019, she was dropped by conservative organization Young America's Foundation (YAF), citing her support for individuals associated with antisemitism and white nationalism.[5][7]

Meta being able to create completely new social network overnight and still get more users then the entire Fediverse without the need to open up anything… That feeler like more of a loose for me.
Meta didn’t spin up a new service overnight; it’s integrated with an Instagram. The reason why they were able to get 100 million users in a few weeks is because they have a pre-existing user base... do you really think that Meta will give up their users so easily? The users that they make massive profits off of? If so, what makes you think that your local instance would have the resources to work against Meta’s billion dollar marketing budget to ply away a sizable chunk of their users?
Also, Meta now sits on the ActivityPub W3C committee… I don’t think that they will allow portable user accounts any time soon, especially if it threatens their profits.
It's technically not a visa but an electronic travel authorization much like the US and Canada have.
