Maybe there’s a logical reason behind it, but I always fear I’ve accidentally downvoted someone when I haven’t.
Yes! Why are the colors swapped?
blue/green for good and red/orange for bad is kinda universal. Reddit had orange for upvote because it’s their theme color.
That’s so funny to me. I’ve been irritated by my downvotes on lemmy but I never really knew why. I’ve gone back numerous times to verify that I didn’t accidently upvote a comment I meant to downvotes, but it never occurred to me that my monkey brain is just so used to the reddit colors that it got confused
Doesn’t bother me one bit
upvotes should be green imo
Yeah, idk, I keep thinking I’ve downvoted something when I actually updated it. It’d be nice to have a way to swap them back
because voyager is based on Apollo for iOS and that’s how christian had his app colors. i didn’t even know reddit used orange / red for upvotes till this post lol used Apollo for way too many years
Did it? I used Apollo since release and my upvotes were always orange/red and downvotes blue. I even went back and looked at saved screenshots just to make sure I wasn’t crazy.
Yep same here just checked google to see if I was crazy, upvotes were orange. My email app and Apollo had collapse/archive swipes in opposite directions so instead of collapsing a thread I’d upvote the comment all the time, can’t forget the giant orange bar that showed up
Not on my iOS at least. It was always the opposite of here in Voyager and I’m still always confused.
Was this something Christian changed at some point or that followed some theme settings, making the experience different between users?
Yes it’s bothersome after a decade of using Reddit. I wish there was an option to swap colors.
Maybe a “thumb in the eye” to reddit? I would have gone /w completely different colors if it was my decision.
