For some reason whenever someone posts any news about Pixelfed one of the top comments is usually along the lines of “no dark mode, no use.” Boy do I have good news for those users!
Like the rest of the Fediverse, and unlike corporate media, there are multiple apps you can use! Examples:
- iOS has Impressia (fka Vernissage)
- Android has Pixeldroid
This is also useful for users who have qualms about the Pixelfed dev’s more… distasteful? behavior (example I found today) and don’t rock with rewarding it, kind of like how a lot of Lemmy users might block or defederate the flagship .ml instance.
You're viewing a single thread.
I've never used dark mode for anything and never will. It's also funny how people care enough to dislike that I have a different preference, as the downvotes show.
valid i think there are some scientifically proven drawbacks both ways also dark mode is worse if u have astigmatism
That's the thing that irks me when people are elitist about dark mode. Sorry I can't use your edgy dark app with my feeble scrub eyes.
I absolutely love dark mode and find light mode headache inducing but will never understand the elitist attitude beyond a quick joke. Accessibility is good in all forms!
once i pointed out that most modern mobile OSes have a native “smart invert” which can make any app dark mode without messing with images and i got called ableist 😭
Its not as good tho, its a bit too litera
I can’t use light mode without inducing a migraine. It’s nice that we’re at a point in history where most apps have at least two accessible themes for different folks.
the downvotes are only because you seem to think shouting out that YOU don't want a feature in a thread where everybody else wants it is not hypocritical
Your understanding of the meaning of 'everybody' is wildly flawed. The comments certainly don't indicate that everyone wants that. There are 16 comments, of which 2 say they like dark mode and 2 say they like light mode.
Nor is providing a comment in reply to the post, positive or negative, in any way hypocritical.
Nor was I shouting at any point.
All in all, that's a terrible misunderstanding of what I actually said.
The downvotes are because people are anal over their preference for dark mode, as always.
