I don’t know what it is but that site jumps around constantly on my phone. Can’t read it because none of the text sits still.

Just block the "join us on Discord" banner with your adblocker.

Super easy on android with Firefox and uBlock Origin.

1. Load page

2. Tap firefox's menu icon

3. Tap Extensions

4. Tap uBlock Origin

5. Tap "Enter element picker mode"

6. Tap the annoying moving text

7. In the element picker, select the correct layer (you don't want to delete the background image behind the moving text, you want to delete the moving text so tap through the layers until you get the right one. For this website you want "###disc" rather than the default "||bivector.net/images/banner.jpg").

8. Tap Create

You now have a custom filter for that website that removes that annoying element from appearing.

You now also have the knowledge to remove anything from any website on your phone.

It's their bouncing "Join us on Discord!" text. At its smaller font size it fits on one line, and then it increases to the larger size and spans two lines. This causes everything to shift up and down. It's a poorly thought out idea.

The "Join us on Discord!" banner changes size periodically and bumps the content down each time. Zooming out keeps it from happening, if your eyes can take it ;)

If you rotate your phone and view in landscape mode the problem goes away, on iPhone at least. Not ideal but at least it’s something.

Are you also on a mini? ;-) Just because I really like bivector.net, despite its questionable web design choices: zooming out one level should make it so the animated “join our discord” no longer causes reflows. This should be fixed, but as a workaround until then for those of us on slimmer viewports…
