Mastodon's light theme (especially with advanced interface disabled) is better than twitter's light theme, because the actual background color of the body is a light gray that's imho easier on eyes than full white but more importantly is slightly blue (#EFF3F5) so it still has personality and feels alive, while as Twitter's light theme uses almost entirely full blinding bright white and monochrome grays.
Which is weird, because Twitter's dim dark theme is very saturated and feels nice to me.
Comparison of the light bluegray background of masto light theme vs similar monochrome gray (this might not work because I still haven't fixed this tool lol) https://cervine.online/tools/palette/#EFF3F5+#EFEFEF
@masklayer dang remember when Twitter had some contrast
@masklayer when I started using it I think it looked like the top one here. I had a mostly light blue background for the longest time which was really nice https://twirpz.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/2013-and-early-2014-twitter-profile-page-bbc-breaking.png
@masklayer and I still love Bootstrap's look (which is what Twitter was based on before the latest overhaul) https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.5/examples/
@noiob Yeah it's weird that they got rid of basically all of the color and contrast
@masklayer hm, I might've actually been around for https://twirpz.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/2012_07_31-twitter-profile-page.png
point is Twitter used to have sensible design and wasn't always all white and big
