I don't think those two ideas correlate anywhere near how you think they do and this comes off more as a personal projection onto how at-large user bases would behave. There's ample data to show the popularity of dark modes and their usage rate over light modes when available and there are several other more logical and simple reasons to think a user base from a banned sub didn't make it here than to assume they were all online enough to transition to discord, then here, but bounced because changing a user profile drop down was One Step Too Far. You have valid light mode feedback, but you don't need to wrap it up in pet theories to make said feedback.
No social media sites have dark mode as default, so when trying to make a substitute one to transition users it's a dumb idea.
