Why are upvotes blue?
Why are upvotes blue?
I just noticed this, apologies if this is an old change, but the up vote / down vote colors seem to have swapped.

It was jarring for me at first, but it grew on me very fast. Also, in my opinion, looks cleaner on dark mode

Yup totally agree about the dark mode looking better with blue!. I think if you're on Lemmy you should use the right color scheme as well

It makes more sense IMO, usually red is used for things like stop, wrong, error, bad etc. and while green is most common for go, correct, good etc. blue fits better as an opposite to red.
-
I disagree I figured red was heating up and blue was cooling down, regardless of how you interpret it though we all know why everyone is used to it being that way.

Pretty sure the colors both changed slightly too.
-
That's correct, they used to be reddit orangered and periwinkle.

Upvotes are blue on lemmy. There's an option to change it back to red if you're used to the old reddit colours
Oh, okay. I found the option. Just didn't know that was a thing.
Here's a link to the option:
Settings shortcut: Theme management > Upvote color
