blue/green for good and red/orange for bad is kinda universal. Reddit had orange for upvote because it's their theme color.
kbin.social has (green-up) (red-down) which makes even more sense, hehehe
Which makes it bad for colorblind users like me unfortunately. Red/Orange/Green combined with blue is much better in that regard
I used RiF and didn't even remember it having colors there and didn't notice it was different here
Edit: I just noticed this is a community from a specific lemmy app that I don't use. I use Jerboa and ot also have blue upvotes red downvotes.
Doesn't bother me one bit
because voyager is based on Apollo for iOS and that’s how christian had his app colors. i didn’t even know reddit used orange / red for upvotes till this post lol used Apollo for way too many years
Did it? I used Apollo since release and my upvotes were always orange/red and downvotes blue. I even went back and looked at saved screenshots just to make sure I wasn’t crazy.
You get used to it. The color scheme makes more sense this way anyway
It's counterintuitive IMO. Cool, calm colors = good. Warm, angry colors = bad.
I realize Reddit used orange, but this ain't Reddit.
