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.

@maunzikation there indeed are some stylish modes for light themes. Your friend also have the option of using mobile app, i know that Tusky and TootyFruity on Android both have dark text on light background option ;)

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: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef (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)

(By which I'm not implying that I actually want/need things CWed for length here, just that I often have trouble reading long things and am feeling very at home here where 400-500 characters is already considered "long" 😻)

I love how people are like "Oh no, I wrote more than 400 characters, I should have CWed that"

FInally, my kind of place

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

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 πŸ‘ 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.

To sum up the replies (thank you so much, everyone!), so far no instance recommendations, but:

Tusky (Android client) has a light theme and uses Android's font size settings (thanks @frankiesaxx @Amaury @Jules)

okay let's see if there are already enough #knitters on here.

I need 3.5 mm needles with sharp tips for lace #knitting
They need to be very lightweight.
They should be available in Europe.

Knit Pro Zings are a pain for #lace knitting.

Any suggestions?

@maunzikation @Amaury in addition you can adjust font size in Android's Eingabehilfen, works in tusky

@maunzikation
I don't know any instance but I'm using the Tusky app and you can change the colors for white BG with black text!

@maunzikation I made this style ages ago but I think it still works: userstyles.org/styles/136214/h It can do black-on-white or white-on-black.

I haven't done anything with font sizes but that might be possible
