@squirrel so, thank you.

@squirrel no matter how long this instance lasts, I'm super grateful for the work you're doing. I really like this place. And if it doesn't work out long-term, it will still be really nice to know that this place existed, ever. :>

Sometimes, it would be really useful to have ones own replies to ones own toots appear right below them, instead of below however many other replies had already happened then. I think this is the only thing that I like about current twitter thead view things.

I have done too much commewnication *doesn't go offline because it is not a sensible cat, but*

This firefox addon (via @Antanicus) is named after doing the opposite, but you can change the settings to get a light background and dark text: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dark-background-light-text/ (just be warned, while doing so, the description of which color is which will not be readable if you just switch the two … in retrospect, obviously *confused cat* m)

@Antanicus aah, i see. it is possible to do the opposite by changing the colors. thanks.

@Antanicus this is the opposite of what the person in question needs, the dark background of the mastodon default theme is the problem ;)

Another one for folks who _can_ use light on dark, just not to the extremes of the original theme: https://infosec.exchange/users/cherokeejb/updates/1024

@XavierJulep@mastodon.technology can you elaborate? I don't think you're referring to the medium-sized wild cats that I am thinking of :)

If you can generally handle light text on dark background, but need some contrast improvements to the original theme, toot.cat has that: https://toot.cat/users/ashkitten/updates/15381

@ashkitten@toot.cat thank you!

@ashkitten@toot.cat oh, that is great! could you maybe share a screenshot?

Sadly, I am also not a person who can actively contribute to … all of this … because I … know nothing … about … those things … and the mere thought of contributing to discussions by anything more than 👍 or ❤ stresses me out, welp.

I'd also like to point out that I didn't pay enough attention to these things until I saw someone's tweets today about how this is not working for them, at all.

And that is one way that exclusion happens, when you don't take issues that you know about theoretically THAT serious, because you are not personally affected.

Still, as of now, individual users are responsible for making this service accessible to them, because the default is one that is hard or impossible to read for many people, and there is no built-in way to change these things. There is talk about all of this on Github, so I am hopeful. But really, right now, this is… not a good situation.
