There are other vision conditions where people cannot see letters in dark mode that well. Apps and websites should just follow whatever the OS setting is, no matter the motivation of the user. Even if it’s just a matter of taste and not some form of eye sight condition, it’s just as valid.

PixelDroid is a client that supports dark mode.

Look, someone reported this as misinformation. Too bad me, the active mod here, gets pain in the eyes, sometimes flickering vision, and sometimes what I would describe as sea sickness from staring onto bright white screens. When I have no other choice because work, I invert all screen colors but sometimes correct colors are important.

So yeah, no proper dark mode means it’s a crap app.

I’ve always assumed Meta’s investment in Threads’s ActivityPub compatibility was purely to show the EU, “Hey look, we’re trying to follow the open standard.”

Threads’s ActivityPub compatibility isn’t available in the EU. European Threads profiles cannot enable ActivityPub federation.

I’m waiting for by Loops verification mail but I’d say the average Lemmy user has not that much in common with the average TikTok/IG user.

Torrenting, a way of distributing files across the web, requires that torrenters simultaneously “seed,” or upload, the files they’re trying to obtain.

That’s not true. Techniques exist to fight off leeching and download speeds are severely impacted by them but that a blanket statement of a requirement just isn’t true.
