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?

[-] ciko22i3@sopuli.xyz 119 points 1 year ago

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

[-] pgetsos@kbin.social 54 points 1 year ago

Which makes it bad for colorblind users like me unfortunately. Red/Orange/Green combined with blue is much better in that regard

This user-script changes upvote to blue ~ (down is red)
(can install with tamper-monkey/ grease-monkey / violent-monkey / etc.
