In all seriousness, this article is as obnoxious as the dark mode zealots. Theme choices are a personal preference, and claiming any sort of objective benefits from either choice is ridiculous. Saying light mode is somehow better, and quoting dubious research to back it up, is the same argument in reverse.
Just give your users the option to choose whatever look they prefer, as customization is always good, and use whatever you like. And both sides should... lighten up. :)
- lloydatkinson 3y agoIt’s a shame you believe that a blog post on someone’s personal repeated experiences (as reflected in other people’s comments in this thread) is somehow comparable to dark mode zealotry and regular comments/personal attacks about non-dark mode.
- imiric 3y agoI'm sorry you've had bad personal experiences with what sounds like shitty people, but that has nothing to do with UI theme choices, or the existence of a "Dark Mode Lobby". Your post is confusing as it mixes memes with serious personal experiences, and counterarguments based on the same shaky premises of opinions you're arguing against.
