| Apr 2, 2022 at 5:30 | comment | added | Sabito stands with Ukraine | I get the other references but I have no clue what Digital Dimension Designers and 3D glasses is referring to... The SO logo in that theme looks like TikTok's logo ... so is it referring to TikTok? Does it have anything to do with digitaldimensiondesigns.com? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Really like Frisa Lank btw ;) | |
| Apr 2, 2022 at 3:57 | comment | added | Sebastian Simon | @MarkRansom Don’t spoil April Fools day 2023! But seriously, the AoE time zone convention has always been used on Stack Exchange. | |

| Apr 2, 2022 at 2:09 | comment | added | V2Blast | @Robotnik: This April Fools' prank leveraged existing Stacks theming, so most of the heavy lifting was already done from the dark and high contrast modes we’ve worked on. The good news is, we are in a better place to ship high contrast mode network-wide to improve accessibility, which we have plans to do. This work does not directly address the highly customized themes that some of our network sites have. That said, part of the additional intent for Filters was also to help find gaps in our theming implementation, which would make it easier to create future themes for network sites as needed. | |
| Apr 2, 2022 at 1:54 | comment | added | V2Blast | @SebastianSimon: I think Anne's comment on Glorfindel's answer there reflects my intent with that phrasing... :) | |
| Apr 2, 2022 at 0:42 | comment | added | maxshuty | I love the spirit of doing something for April Fools, but these features should be accessible. A keyboard only user has no way of even turning this feature off... | |
| Apr 1, 2022 at 22:51 | comment | added | learning2learn | @CodyGray only because many thousands of dollars might be at risk... no other reason than that triviality :- |. I suppose this will seem funny in a few weeks, or 364 days from now. | |

| Apr 1, 2022 at 16:28 | comment | added | Ahmed Saeed | The 3d glasses filter was activated by default for me both in Chrome and Edge. Firefox looked okay. I though stackoverflow was broken because I was not wearing 3d glasses and everything looked blurry. | |
| Apr 1, 2022 at 16:17 | comment | added | Oleg Valter is with Ukraine | @user4581301 even better, an intentonal one, in the spirit of the day :) | |
| Apr 1, 2022 at 16:16 | comment | added | Ollie | Possible bug: You forgot to redact the description for the type of flag in the keyboard shortcuts, e.g. graying out "needs moderator intervention", but leaving the text in the menu. i.sstatic.net/SW7H6.png | |

| Apr 1, 2022 at 12:19 | comment | added | Enrico | @J... you are right. You definitely earned a seat in the senate now and the right to complain™ . Have a nice april fools day man. | |
| Apr 1, 2022 at 12:17 | comment | added | J... | @Enrico I've invested over a decade contributing content to this site. This isn't Twitter. | |
| Apr 1, 2022 at 12:15 | comment | added | Enrico | @J... The only difference: The car is free you and don't have to pay for gas. Are you still complaining that the car isn't the way YOU want it to be? (Seriously there is one simple button to turn the new "style" off. Have you even tried it? Or been too busy complaining about how free stuff doesn't look the way you want.) | |
| Apr 1, 2022 at 12:08 | comment | added | Enrico | so much hate on this filter feature... I don't get it. | |
| Apr 1, 2022 at 12:04 | comment | added | Thom A | @J... I don't see how searching the problem on Meta, which isn't part of the April Fool's joke, is affected by the joke. The Filters feature has no effect on a person's ability to check if the question, about the current look of Stack Overflow, has already been asked. | |

| Apr 1, 2022 at 9:16 | comment | added | Ingo Steinke | SO should rather focus on their content which is what makes the site unique. I disabled the filter feature as soon as I discovered it. | |
| Apr 1, 2022 at 8:56 | comment | added | Sebastian Simon | @Larnu Plus, some of these posts have reminded me how many new users post questions about Stack Overflow on Stack Overflow main rather than Meta… | |

| Apr 1, 2022 at 8:17 | comment | added | Thom A | I feel like this April Fool's feature has just proved how many people don't bother researching before they ask questions. The [support] and [discussion] tags are just full of the people asking the same question so far. "What's Happen? Why text Green? I switch off how?!" | |

| Apr 1, 2022 at 5:41 | comment | added | CryptoFool | I had some eclipse glasses lying around. I've got my monitor brightness turned all the way up, and now when using the eclipse glasses, a couple of the themes are actually very cool. | |
| Apr 1, 2022 at 5:27 | comment | added | Andreas | My first thought when I first visited the site today and got the 3D filter: Aww it's April Fools' Day! | |
| Apr 1, 2022 at 4:23 | comment | added | Sebastian Simon | @Robotnik All these themes are relatively rudimentary and are not necessarily meant to be well-designed. Making a real theme, making it well, polishing it, etc. takes a lot more time. | |
| Apr 1, 2022 at 4:21 | comment | added | Robotnik | As fun as this is, I can't help think that the design time spent making 9 different themes for Stack Overflow could've been spent giving 9 other SE sites a makeover. There's still plenty of Yugo sites on the network. | |

| Apr 1, 2022 at 2:36 | comment | added | Drew Reese | @BSMP From what I've gathered so far, the filter you see initially is random. | |
| Apr 1, 2022 at 2:35 | comment | added | BSMP | Would it be possible for this to default to something other than the Hotdog and 3D themes, which are legitimately hard to read? Don't get rid of them, just don't have it be the first filter applied to someone first getting here during April Fool's Day. | |

| Apr 1, 2022 at 1:53 | comment | added | Ethan Coon | I have to say, the 3D glasses had me so angry that the first thing I did was come to meta to find a way to upvote the thread (that I was sure was going to already exist) complaining about how terrible of a design decision this was... | |
| Apr 1, 2022 at 1:37 | comment | added | Drew Reese | It's still March for many of us. Admittedly I was also caught off guard. Initial thought was, "Great, another feature no one was asking for. Rabble, rabble, rabble..." | |

| Apr 1, 2022 at 1:01 | comment | added | J... | All I can say is thank goodness it can be turned off without a third-party script, which instantly makes it better than most other stack "features" and re-designs that have come out recently. Why can we turn off the April Fool's joke but not any of the other jokes that have been foisted upon us in recent memory? | |
