#lightmode

It's getting more and more disorienting to me when a website doesn't have light and dark modes, and automatic switching between them based on system settings.

In particular, when I'm in dark mode, Reddit and Stack Overflow stick out like sore thumbs against everything else on my screen.

(Can't think of a reverse case ATM, except for the Tidal app and website. But also, it's not as glaring to have something dark amid bright stuff.)

@mms committed #lightmode user here. I've tried several light background colors but I always get tired of anything with any tint at all. Current (not ideal) solution is to turn the screen brightness down, since anyway I also get hit with FFFFFF backgrounds in the browser and other programs.

Question for you #webdev peeps:

I've made a site and it's totally in dark mode. How I like it 😊

But some people mentioned that I should offer a light mode toggle because "some people are not used to dark mode and won't like it".

Do you think that's valid?

(Someone else said that there's also potentially an accessibility issue with dark mode - is that true?)

I don't know what it is, but in the past few years I've gone the reverse of everything dark mode to everything light mode or full color mode.

I finally did it for #discord and it looks so strange to me. It looks almost not modern if that makes sense.
What do you prefer Dark Mode or Light Mode?
