It's 2024. At this point, it's just irresponsible for a website/app to not give you a dark mode option.

I actually think sn looks incredibly busy and downright hard to look at in light mode. Should default to black.

According to this poll, there are still lunatics that use light mode.

I always figured light mode was a trick, set as the default to drive away anyone who couldn't figure out how to get to dark mode.

Dark mode. I'm inherently distrustful of anyone who willingly chooses to use light mode for any website where the option for dark mode is available* instead...there's a strong correlation with psychopathy and light mode users.
- = of course, this doesn't apply if you're in a situation that requires it, such as using a device in direct sunlight

Might be a bit of an over-generalisation, but from my experience outside of SN…
- Dark mode is overwhelming favoured by techies, devs and males.
- Light mode is still favoured by the masses and ladies during daytime.
- Adoption of dark mode is higher in younger demographics (89% in 18-29yrs vs 75% other age groups)

Are you doing this to save battery, or is there something else going on?

No I just never switched it to dark mode on my laptop. I usually use my laptop during the day and my phone at night so maybe that has something to do with it.

Here I was thinking SN dark mode was impossible to read and nobody would be using it...how wrong I am. Do you not find it difficult to read large amounts of text in dark mode? I am sure I have read some objective studies on the UX improvements of light mode for text.
Edit: Maybe Psychopath / lunatic.
