Zach LeathermanA very unscientific poll about light and dark modes on web sites:
My vision requires that I use light mode
My vision requires that I use dark mode
I prefer to use light mode
I prefer to use dark mode

mandy brown@zachleat I prefer to use auto but I have trouble with a lot of dark modes and often have to switch back (or put down my device); I have a strong astigmatism which means high-contrast light-on-dark causes a halation effect which is very unpleasant. I can only handle dark mode if it’s sufficiently moderate in contrast.
Kristof Zerbe@aworkinglibrary @zachleat Ah, "astigmatism". I didn't even know there was a word for how I feel when reading pure or poorly done dark mode pages
