this one is really important!!!

i'm subtooting mastodon here

having your own userstyle = perpetually being salty at how poorly designed literally every website is

@kibi oh yeah

mastodon's styling sucks so bad ;; i have to do weird and probably illegal stuff to get it to look like i want

you: oh come on kibi it's impossible to design for literally every user style
me: oh yea well pinafore looks wonderful so

@kibi i bet rustodon looks really good

*ignores the fact that this is because the markup is simplistic as Heck*

@kibi

But I could have told you kibi,
This web was never meant for one
As customized as you

@kibi speaking as someone who's written css: it's just really really easy to do this:

.some-elem {
color: $white;
background: $black;
&:hover {
background: $black-2;
}
}

and then you swap color: black, background: white
whoops you didn't notice the hover background! now you've got black on black
