We make a Lemmy user union that's entire purpose is to downvote all posts that feature black text on a white background instead of white text on a black background.
Big light mode has been stealing our memes for too long. It's time to push back.
You joke but dynamic content based on site, user settings would be so damn cool and a great accessibility feature.
Granted it may take more data but there is so much more we can do with digital media than just static pictures.
Id love if pictures showed some actual buttons when you hovered over them that can change to a readable font. Feature an explanatory description (or easter egg) Copy parts of the text or link to the oc source.
Mmm all memes with text must be transcribed into a native text program that displays the text to each users customisations. Images are attached separately. If you fail to comply you get fucking IP banned lol
Dave:
Open the pod bay doors, please, HAL. Open the pod bay doors, please, HAL. Hello, HAL. Do you read me? Hello, HAL. Do you read me? Do you read me, HAL?
Edit: Red text on a background of green squares of various shades. It reads, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
Really? I appreciate your support, but that was the worst thing I could come up with quickly. I say that as someone who uses dark mode across the board, including solid black backgrounds and wallpapers. Should I have used dark brown text on a light blue background?
Light level is the problem I have. I don't need every single sub pixel outputting all of its light on every inch of the screen all the time. A flat black background with contrasting letters is ideal to me. I'm okay with sacrificing readability of the text for ease on the eyes.
I think I once made a comment that implies I'm Yueh, but I prefer to think of myself as the personification of the tooth as if it were a character in the novel.

You would have loved computing in 1980.

Red on blue, I wish my memes to be unpleasant to the eyes

Yeah, I'm afraid I can't do that.

HAL: Affirmative, Dave. I read you.
Dave: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Downvote posts that consist mostly or entirely of an image of text but don't also include a transcription in either the alt text or the body.
Fleur_@aussie.zone · 6 pts · 155d
Agreed
Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 155d
I want to hear more about this.
XiELEd@piefed.social · 4 pts · 155d
Agree with this tbh
Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 155d
Edit: Red text on a background of green squares of various shades. It reads, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
This edit inspired by Zagorath
Zagorath@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 154d
Fuck yeah!
Btw the other way you can do it (which will only be noticeable to users with screen readers) is to put the alt text between the square brackets.
Fleur_@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 155d
Unironically better than black text on white

I hear that. I also like that it saves power in devices with OLED displays.

But are you Leto or Yueh?

Hopefully less of an empty gesture! 😅

I love my dark mode too, but this sounds like brigading and brigading should be a banable offense on Lemmy & PieFed
Ikon@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 154d
Was all in till I read your comment, now I gotta flip and upvote to a downvote
Lydia_K@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 155d
As much as I agree with you in spirit; come on now, let's let everyone enjoy things the way they wanna enjoy things.
TachyonTele@piefed.social · 7 pts · 155d
My computer growing up was black with green text. I don't even know what your talking about.
Speculater@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 155d
Why can't the server ID the white background and inverse colors? I feel like it should be trivial. But I'm all in for your campaign!
imsufferableninja@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 154d
I'm just here to down vote you for "that's"
MagicShel@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 154d
Clearly should've been whoms's.
Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 154d
Whomst'd've the correct answer?
MagicShel@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 154d
I'dn't've known.
XeroxCool@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 153d
Every time I look away from dark mode Lemmy and it's excess of text, I see stripes. Maybe it's not the way
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 154d
I would help, but I've already blocked every user who does that.
