Look, someone reported this as misinformation. Too bad me, the active mod here, gets pain in the eyes, sometimes flickering vision, and sometimes what I would describe as sea sickness from staring onto bright white screens. When I have no other choice because work, I invert all screen colors but sometimes correct colors are important.

So yeah, no proper dark mode means it's a crap app.

It's common knowledge that dark-mode hurts your eyes less So yeah, these people who reported are people who think their opinions & google-searches are superior to common knowledge

Cuz you said so, why don't you stare into a bright light & find out

Hold on, are you confusing something being hurting (as in, causing pain and/or pathological damage) with something being exhausting (as in, strains your eyes) with something being annoying?

Because if the three words are used interchangeably in your vocabulary that'd explain a lot of your seemingly random posts in the comments here. They're not the same (at all) to most people and especially not on a medical level (like that article you yourself provided, there is no medical evidence for non-extreme light sources making a difference in eye health).

There are other vision conditions where people cannot see letters in dark mode that well. Apps and websites should just follow whatever the OS setting is, no matter the motivation of the user. Even if it's just a matter of taste and not some form of eye sight condition, it's just as valid.

Agreed, but all apps (especially social media ones) need a dark-mode
