I kinda love it, do the opposite of the Reddit convention

It's the default on lemmy. I guess allowing the user to change it would be fine but there is a reason for it

I think a better solution, as the app matures, is to have various themes that could change these colors.

Understanding that most of us came from Reddit and consistency is nice, this isn’t exactly Reddit. So maybe a theme would be a better solution.

It confuses me every time

I never noticed it before that it's different. Blue = good, red = bad makes sense to me. I assume Reddit went that way because of their branding, but like @deadhead@lemmy.world already said; I think it's nice that it's exactly the opposite of Reddit. I say let it stay!

I'd love to see the colors swapped as well, I'm just too used to the Reddit-like convention

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.
