Can we get a dark mode please?

Not sure if the mods will build it (I'd say unlikely -- nothing has changed in the decade I've been here) but in the meantime, you could use a CSS browser plugin and edit the CSS yourself
It's amazing that HN is still built with tables and center tags in this day and age!
A better version of HN might be one which is deliberately impossible to read unless you edit the CSS yourself.
Back in the day, all BBS's were dark mode.

Then the web went bright around Web 2.0.

I also would like dark mode, but by default and not requiring a login with preferences.

You can install Stylus in your browser and use one of several dark themes, or make your own.

With the structure of HN, it doesn't take a lot to make something nice.
