What browser and operating system are you on? Unfortunately font rendering seems to differ vastly between browsers. Note taken about the color palette though (I did try a brighter font color but found it too painful on my eyes).

PS: Firefox's and Chrome's reading mode is probably the best quick workaround. When opening a post in Firefox, I get a Reading Mode button in the navbar, and for Chrome it's in the new sidepanel.

I first opened it in Firefox on Linux. I think whatever subpixel rendering it's trying to do doesn't work with light fonts on dark background, there is blurriness and colour fringes. It seems to look a little better in Chromium. Just adding some weight to the font would already help.

Another thing that's hurting readability is monospace.

Chrome + Windows 11. And before that Chromium on various versions of Ubuntu Linux over the years. Firefox renders it practically identical to Chrome/Chromium.

I stayed for the content but the colors and the thin monospaced font didn't make it a pleasure. I have returned regularly over the years because I like the content so much.

Do you have retinal detachment? It can cause high contrast to be unpleasant to the point of being painful.

Firefox reader does not work on iOS.

It does, actually.
