Facebook suddenly won't stay in dark mode and aaarggh, my eyes!
Aaarggh, my eyes!

At first I thought it was a temporary glitch. Then I thought I was going mad. But then I realized other people are experiencing it, too.

I've been a big proponent of dark mode on all platforms and use it everywhere I can. It saves a little bit of battery on OLED displays, but it's also just easier on my eyes.
