This one has higher resolution and no unhelpful dithering. Also the color palette, while reducible to 64 or fewer colors instead of 256, is actually somewhat optimized (there is no green or yellow).
Don’t worry about optimizing your GIFs, that is a rant about a problem that needs to be solved by someone else. Just accept the higher compatibility but worse quality/bitrate ratio and move on.
I tried posting a short looping soundless animation on Reddit over two years ago and GIF was the only format (I also tried WebP, APNG and mp4) that played automatically on loop. I made sure to optimize the palette, though. Also, my preferred animated bitmap editor (LogoMotion, 2002 abandonware) only exports GIF.
I agree with you. I changed it with a higher quality one.

Glad you said this, because honestly there’re diminishing reasons to use gif in 2023, compatibility with the long tail is pretty much it
