real i literally can not read white lettering on a darker background, also have astigmatisms

brrbrbrbrr.bsky.social•59 days ago

does low contrast dark mode do the same thing? i hate ffffff on 000000 but i love a dark grey on black / light grey on dark grey

brrbrbrbrr.bsky.social•59 days ago

and by hate i do mean it's like, painful to read white text on black esp. on an oled screen

seraphictiger.bsky.social•59 days ago

Omg it’s the same for me, dark mode is so much harder for me to read and like it hurts my eyes from straining to read? Wtf

kktnc.bsky.social•59 days ago

i myself enjoy dark mode more than light mode and enjoy being afforded the option to have it wherever i go around the net but at the same time i understand that light color schemes are a lot more generally accessible!!

kktnc.bsky.social•59 days ago

like, i genuinely dont understand this epidemic of people refusing to put themself in others' shoes. it really isnt that hard to hear someones explanation for something, internalize it, and then just. accept it. really not hard at all

n9x.tel•59 days ago

like ok why are u using dark mode then clown nose, could it be bc light mode hurts your🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅 your eyes🍅🍅🍅🍅because it hurts your eyes 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅

n9x.tel•59 days ago

btw if anyone else has this issue and has astigmatism like me its most likely halation. Thats the term for it.

n9x.tel•59 days ago

shits just mad annoying bro like AHH!!! AHH LIGHT MODE USER IM BLIND!!! MY EYES!!! 🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ man get ur jokes up

kemonolover.bsky.social•59 days ago

only olds have any beef left with lightmode, it's no longer fashionable among the hip and the young lol

turbro.bsky.social•59 days ago

Every time I post a screenshot I mentally prepare myself to see one of the same 4 flashbang gifs. EVERY TIME. It's not a funny joke to begin with and it isn't changing just drop itttttt

dhriku94.bsky.social•59 days ago

Yup its same with me, i have mild astimagtism so i only can use light mode

chuz.bsky.social•56 days ago

Huh, I never thought about that being the reason for that issue.. the more yanno!

dogpills180.bsky.social•58 days ago

I'm genuinely always surprised how much it bothers people to see me using light mode

pitktty.bsky.social•59 days ago

holy shit im not the only one with this issue

geogaddi.bsky.social•59 days ago

I actually read text better when its white bg w/ darker text so i feel this lol

ghirga.bsky.social•59 days ago

it’s the ‘acceptable ableism’ of it that kills me

2dongz.bsky.social•59 days ago

a friend of mine has this exact issue, and has basically just started blocking people who talk shit hahaha

turbro.bsky.social•59 days ago

If they don't know how to act about accessibility features they aren't using they go in the bin!!

gwendolynlloyd.bsky.social•59 days ago

asking genuinely because I don't understand- how/why does that hurt more than light mode? or do you also not know and it's just how it is for you? because I would understand that honestly I have a lot of things I don't get about myself that I just accept

n9x.tel•59 days ago

Its a sort of particular oddity that effects ppl with astigmatism. Its called halation

gwendolynlloyd.bsky.social•59 days ago

Ohhh, okay
Is it only some people with astigmatism? Because I was under the impression I might have it but I don't think I've experienced that particular thing (based on me looking up the definition)
all I know for sure are my eyes aren't great and my left is worse than my right

greenseabee.bsky.social•59 days ago

I'm the exact same way, I read books on paper constantly so light mode is more favorable to me and dark mode makes me squint harder and less focused, x3 everyone finds me odd

nalz.bsky.social•59 days ago

Dark modes suck. Black with white text, especially when reading, leaves an afterimage on my eye balls. Why would I want that? Also have astigmatism. Same issue pre- and post-LASIK.

sousp.bsky.social•59 days ago

these people would never believe what websites looked like in 2007

smollco.bsky.social•59 days ago

well, now I finally know why some ppl use light mode, thanks 🫡

demondaze.bsky.social•59 days ago

I used to use light mode more often bc dark mode ruined my mood. found out I was clinically depressed and all the light mode jokes went from annoying to pretty hurtful after a while. the worst part was "friends" making me feel bad for not taking a joke. we aren't friends anymore thank god

mcoco.bsky.social•59 days ago

Huh, didn't know that was a thing, good to learn!

candyscream.bsky.social•59 days ago

Turned off dark mode at work because it's really hard to read code on dark mode if the sun is shining on your screen xD

pandurmonium.red•59 days ago

Oh god yes someone like me

klarahornyzone.bsky.social•59 days ago

The amount of snark coming from dark-mode users is INSANE!!! Every time I screenshot something someone's like "AUGH my EYES" as if that's not literally the issue I have when reading dark-mode text. It gives my eyes burn-in, dawg, I gotta read light-mode !!

owlflame.bsky.social•59 days ago

I use light mode because I just prefer black text on white background.
