OT question: if I create a Mastodon account, will it give me access to a preference that disables dark mode? I would like to read this post and others by Tao, but I can't stand light-on-black text.
It's insane to enforce something like that by default when every study since the 1990s has shown that it impairs readability on a computer screen.
- barrenko 1y agoYou can add a ".rss" to mastodon profile account page to follow or read it through something that can process rss feeds for a "better" reading experience. E.g. https://mathstodon.xyz/@tao.rss https://mathstodon.xyz/@tao.rss
- apsurd 1y agohow about reader mode in your browser?
- CamperBob2 1y agoNo good in Firefox, unfortunately. Yes, I can use hacks to force reader mode, add CSS to the page, and so forth, but I would prefer a simple checkbox.
- latexr 1y ago> if I create a Mastodon account, will it give me access to a preference that disables dark mode? Yes. But note that if your account is on another instance, that wouldn’t immediately help you when you open the page; you’d still see the default theme for that instance. However, you could simply copy the link and paste it on the search box of your own instance to see the post with your chosen theme (including font and colour).
- snthd 1y agoNow, by default Mastodon follows your browser's light/dark theme preference. Mathstodon must have it's setting configured as dark, overriding the default. Maybe email them and ask for it to be fixed? https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/29748/commits/9ecedf8f96e79e0cb6febad479e3e33f822cc590 https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/29748/commits/9ece...
