Follow user is antithetical to the idea of HN -- content should be upvoted because of what it says, not who said it.
But I agree dark mode would be nice.

I believe HN's HTML structure is simple enough to overwrite with custom CSS on the browser end.
Sure, but I use at least five different browsers for HN, some on my phone. That’s a huge pain.
Being able to check a profile box would be a lot easier.
Genuinely curious, why do you use so many different browsers for HN?

Comments by people with more points to their name are (or at least used to be) promoted higher, which naturally leads to more upvotes.
So there's still an element of who says it that matters
Comments have never been ranked differently on HN based on karma.
