Gregory's Server@lauren @CiaraNi Oh this topic has come up on mastodon before, the minor amount of research out there has a roughly 50/50 split on if dark or light is better - it's totally down to personal preference. Poor UI on websites isn't new for accessibility or readability though, not limited to light/dark mode.

 @Akki @CiaraNi I can hardly focus in dark mode at all. This appears to be the statistical norm, or closer to it: https://medium.com/@h_locke/why-dark-mode-causes-more-accessibility-issues-than-it-solves-d2f8359bb46a @lauren @CiaraNi it's funny because as I was forced to read the first half of that article in light mode, it was giving me the halo effect it says people get in dark mode. Can't be arsed to sign up to read the whole thing but I'm sure I have read it before which is what sparked off another debate somewhere on mastodon where we concluded it's down to individual need/preference. Which is fine. Make it optional for everyone. Accessibility needs options. No one should be forced into a box. |
@Akki @CiaraNi Dark mode is a focus nightmare for many people with common astigmatism. That's a fact. Ask me how I know.
