No it isn't, if a modern app doesn't have dark-mode to protect your eyes Then it's a health-hazard
Look, someone reported this as misinformation. Too bad me, the active mod here, gets pain in the eyes, sometimes flickering vision, and sometimes what I would describe as sea sickness from staring onto bright white screens. When I have no other choice because work, I invert all screen colors but sometimes correct colors are important.
So yeah, no proper dark mode means it's a crap app.
It's common knowledge that dark-mode hurts your eyes less So yeah, these people who reported are people who think their opinions & google-searches are superior to common knowledge

Cuz you said so, why don't you stare into a bright light & find out
Hold on, are you confusing something being hurting (as in, causing pain and/or pathological damage) with something being exhausting (as in, strains your eyes) with something being annoying?
Because if the three words are used interchangeably in your vocabulary that'd explain a lot of your seemingly random posts in the comments here. They're not the same (at all) to most people and especially not on a medical level (like that article you yourself provided, there is no medical evidence for non-extreme light sources making a difference in eye health).
There are other vision conditions where people cannot see letters in dark mode that well. Apps and websites should just follow whatever the OS setting is, no matter the motivation of the user. Even if it's just a matter of taste and not some form of eye sight condition, it's just as valid.
Agreed, but all apps (especially social media ones) need a dark-mode
Thats nonsense
Literally spent 30 seconds on a Google before you start spewing lies like this.
There's a variety of reasons to prefer dark mode, but spreading fake health information isn't valid.
I spent reading books, before YOU started smearing a well-know fact as a lie It's connected with causing myopia & eye-strains
Your precious google won't tell you that (Or maybe you simply clicked the first link that confirmed your bias)
Fine, let's play. Wheres the study you are using as your source?
Pick up an opthalmology book, find it yourself & ask your opthalmology specialist Those are my sources & here's a website too (do you have the guts to touch grass ?)
I already mentioned it, it's the same reason why we use blue-light filters & why we use anti-glare screen protectors
But apparently a single "google-search" is enough for you
You really should read pages you want to link. And I say this as a die-hard dark mode user. It's worrying that you so aggressively attack people get cannot even read the page you link far enough to notice that what you are saying about it is nonsense (like how it has "the same reason", which of course it doesn't, as made clear in the article).
Or you know, at least don't be such a dick. That's also help a lot!
People who say light-mode is not a hazard are the real dicks
Darker (& warmer) colours do not strain your eyes, why are we debating on this ?? This is well-known
You think I did not read the article ? There are more articles that I can link, but will you read it ? (Also try using your intelligence & realize why I said "same reason") This is one of the most laymen one I could find. Again it doesn't really disprove my other point of light-mode being harmful.
