If all the things in the work queue, you're balking on a COLOUR SCHEME?

That's like stopping the construction crew for using the wrong colour work boots, man!

light mode gives me migraines dude. it's more important than just a color preference.

No dark mode, no use.

BTW, work boot color is absolutely regulated depending on context. For example here in Germany, if you work in sterile or food-related industries then shoes are to be issued and used with a color that cannot inherently hide stains by the material you're working with, to prevent accidentally carrying contaminations into other clean zones.

So yes, you would stop the construction crew for using the wrong color work boots.

Same for medical software. Green MUST be an approved green color, and same for red, as the wrong color can give wrong advice and may kill people.

While you may be right about the boots thing that doesn’t stop me from thinking your obstinacy is a bit of a reach and looks embarrassing XD

While my comment was certainly controversial, the number of up-votes from users in the Fediverse means it shouldn't be ignored, either.

Luckily embarrassment is controlled by the person feeling it, and I seem to have a severe lack of that gene 😆

LOL XD Jokes aside it’s interesting how the dark mode thing becomes more of a symbol than anything in certain communities. Obviously the science shows pros and cons both ways, but there’s an implicit in group/out group about it. I might compare it to turning off your autocaps on Tumblr.

It's more like stopping the construction crew from painting your house a colour you hate. Which sounds more reasonable
