Dark mode is for people who prefer dark mode. Yes, the science seems to indicate that light mode is generally more readable, personal preference be damned.
I'm generally a light mode person, despite growing up on "dark mode" (AKA 8 and 16-bit home computers and DEC VT terminals). But, for whatever reason I have to code in a window that is set to dark mode.
Not all of us. I have a fairly strong dislike of dark mode/themes. However, I certainly wouldn't be upset if there was an option for one on HN, as long as I didn't have to use it.

Dark mode is for people who have their monitor brightness set way too high.
I'm serious - try it. Only issue is that some monitors' dimmest setting is still too bright.
You could also get a user-styles extension.
I'm visually impaired: dark mode is about making the web usable for me

I know that there are probably extensions etc but I'm in my bedroom now and the room is not lit like an office and the site is really bright :)
For us "geeks", although I appreciate the minimalism, I'm sure that we enjoy dark theme everywhere.

Are you one of those who code with light mode?
Yes indeed I am. It's the most comfortable for me, reduces eye strain, and helps keep me alert.
so turn the brightness down
There can be other valid perspectives than your own.
