Today in a random large chat:

🙍 "Haha light mode users amirite?"
"I don't judge. Some people have different needs and preferences. I learned recently, for some people, text in dark mode halos really badly into unreadability"
🙍 "What do you mean 'halos'"
"Blurry auras around light-on-dark, like this example image"
🙍 "Wait that's not normal?"
"No it's a sign of a possible eye condition"
🙍 "Huh TIL. I thought that was just normal"

Seriously, throw out all your ridiculous notions of people having "Wrong" preferences and needs; you might be masking issues you yourself have and could be figuring out.

Both light mode and dark mode have pros and cons as well as being beneficial or damaging with specific health conditions or under specific environments.

The problem is cultural: you often see people that prefer dark mode mocking users of light mode and people that prefer light mode taunting it as the objectively better/healthier way.
