The optional toogle to disable lightning animation.

[DMantis]

For me continuous lightning strikes animation causes a bit of a headache and stops from staying on website. I believe I'm not the only person with such perception of animations.

Would be nice to have an option toggle like with dark/bright modes to disable/enable it to improve accessibility.

Should this option be only toggleable for signed in users?

Or would it be available to the unauthenticated lurkers too?

I can see pros and cons to both.

Follow up, has anybody started work on this yet?

Looking at the PRs, I don't see that anyone has started working on this yet.

I think yes, this can be available for unauthenticated lurkers to. Just set it in local storage. I don't see security implications. So no reason why not.

I can see pros and cons to both.

These are?

Also, has this behaviour changed? I think in the past, the lightning strikes were random but now happen only on tipping. Or am I mistaken and this was always the case?

The lightning strikes happen randomly for logged out users. For logged in users it's only when tipping.

Used localstorage. Can be toggled at bottom of page
