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.
kbin.social has (green-up) (red-down) which makes even more sense, hehehe
Which makes it bad for colorblind users like me unfortunately. Red/Orange/Green combined with blue is much better in that regard
Doesn’t bother me one bit
I used RiF and didn’t even remember it having colors there and didn’t notice it was different here
Edit: I just noticed this is a community from a specific lemmy app that I don’t use. I use Jerboa and ot also have blue upvotes red downvotes.
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.
You get used to it. The color scheme makes more sense this way anyway
It’s counterintuitive IMO. Cool, calm colors = good. Warm, angry colors = bad.
I realize Reddit used orange, but this ain’t Reddit.
