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.

the downvotes are only because you seem to think shouting out that YOU don’t want a feature in a thread where everybody else wants it is not hypocritical

Your understanding of the meaning of ‘everybody’ is wildly flawed. The comments certainly don’t indicate that everyone wants that. Nor is providing an alternative viewpoint hypocritical. Nor am I shouting. Nor did I say I don’t want the feature, just that I don’t use it.
All in all, that’s a wild misunderstanding of what I actually said.
The downvotes are because people are anal over their preference for dark mode.

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.
