I'm sure it's already known that the light theme link color is difficult to discern from normal text. The dark theme needs an adjustment too - the edges of the text are subtly blending into the background and it makes it just slightly harder to read. I use the Chrome Dark Reader plugin normally and noticed how much of a difference there was. Screenshots for comparison

Not sure exactly how dark reader works but my guess is it adjusts contrast on foreground/background elements until it hits some threshold, probably one of the WCAG established levels. The contrast level of the Dark Reader color on black is a 6.93:1 according to Web Aim where as the regular dark theme is 3.35:1. I look at a lot of links during the weekend and Dark Reader can have some weird interactions with the site so I turn it off a lot, so an adjustment would be appreciated Cheers

This prompted me to actually run it through various color blind checkers and they were still visibly different, so not sure if srs
Looks mostly the same to me
Sharp you're drunk go home
I agree with Nerio
The URLs would be a lot easier to disern if they were just all underlined. I'd start there instead.
I sent this to the site admin team.
I blame WKP for having such dark colors, I actually lightened that blue up a ton, but I'll do more.
