Today in internet culture changing fast, I've seen a "meme" being shared in light mode and dark mode variants on reddit.

I think that's all four horses of the Apocalypse is it not when a theme and a meme Collide on Reddit? Definitely not a good sign

It’s bizarre but I’d see it as a step (maybes a sideways one) towards something good. Much like how much of tick tock takes captioning as a must on all its content now. After all inclusiveness should not just be reserved for the high brow content.

Yes but a theme dark or light is not contrast based and thereby flies in the face of a11y

as I say "maybes a sideways one" but it's an intent to make things better
