For some reason whenever someone posts any news about Pixelfed one of the top comments is usually along the lines of “no dark mode, no use.” Boy do I have good news for those users!
Like the rest of the Fediverse, and unlike corporate media, there are multiple apps you can use! Examples:
- iOS has Impressia (fka Vernissage)
- Android has Pixeldroid
This is also useful for users who have qualms about the Pixelfed dev’s more… distasteful? behavior (example I found today) and don’t rock with rewarding it, kind of like how a lot of Lemmy users might block or defederate the flagship .ml instance.
I’ve never used dark mode for anything and never will. It’s also funny how people care enough to dislike that I have a different preference, as the downvotes show.
valid i think there are some scientifically proven drawbacks both ways also dark mode is worse if u have astigmatism
That’s the thing that irks me when people are elitist about dark mode. Sorry I can’t use your edgy dark app with my feeble scrub eyes.
once i pointed out that most modern mobile OSes have a native “smart invert” which can make any app dark mode without messing with images and i got called ableist 😭
Its not as good tho, its a bit too litera
