Yes, many people have reported similar experiences. The phenomenon you're describing is known as an "afterimage." When you stare at something bright (like white text on a dark background) for a prolonged period and then look away, you might see a brief, ghostly image. This happens because the photoreceptor cells in your eyes become overstimulated and continue to send visual information to your brain even after you've looked away.
Dark mode or dark theme has gained popularity in recent years on various platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and others. It's primarily designed to reduce eye strain in low-light conditions and save energy on OLED and AMOLED screens, where black pixels are turned off. However, the effectiveness of dark mode in reducing eye strain can vary from person to person. Some find it more comfortable, while others, like you, might experience afterimages or other visual disturbances.
If you find that dark mode is uncomfortable, it's best to switch back to the light theme or adjust the contrast settings to find a balance that works for you. Additionally, it's always a good idea to take regular breaks when using screens for extended periods.
Turn down brightness
Apply night/blue filter
