Looking around in just the past 5 threads in Feedback shows how messed up and out of date the design of OTLand really is.
Using darkmode has become pretty common, not to say the default, in development.
Now that OTLand doesn't adjust colors on voting or links or even worse text is simply bad design and has been like this for years.
There are so many threads with people changing the textcolor to black or any other dark color and I'm sitting there thinking "god thanks OTLand, now I can't read any of it"
It's partially the users fault for not thinking about it, but really it is OTLands fault for not automating the contrast like many forums and websites do.
This is not only relevant for darkmode and lightmode with text colors, but also for colorblind people who sometimes need a strong contrast to be able to read.
So accessibility for disabled also plays a role in this.
I mean come on... How can you ask such a question and at the same time not notice your mistake @Don Daniello
Or how can you not notice things like this, or notice them but not care about doing anything about it?
Please don't tell me it's too hard. It's too complicated.
You are hosting this website and you have done it for a long time. Doing these kind of changes isn't hard or really shouldn't be anymore by now.
