It's not. When you move wheel up, content moves up. When you move finger up, content moves down.
I was so confused until I read this, because I was like "but... The scroll wheel is normally used to scroll the page." I didn't realize this made it backwards tho. Ew.
On your phone when you move finger up, the content moves down???
When you slide your finger up your screen, the content scrolls down. That's why you swipe up when you browse Lemmy or Reddit or whatever. Whereas on a computer, sliding the mouse wheel up causes the page to scroll up.
