Maybe there’s a logical reason behind it, but I always fear I’ve accidentally downvoted someone when I haven’t.
minus-squarerandomaccount43543@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 year agoYes! Why are the colors swapped?
minus-squareciko22i3@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoblue/green for good and red/orange for bad is kinda universal. Reddit had orange for upvote because it’s their theme color.
minus-squarepushka@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agokbin.social has (green-up) (red-down) which makes even more sense, hehehe
minus-squarepgetsos@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoWhich makes it bad for colorblind users like me unfortunately. Red/Orange/Green combined with blue is much better in that regard
