It's a common request and can email the moderators (dang) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23197966 There might be a reason why it hasn't happened yet or it's simply not pressing compared to keeping the website running.

I use the 'Dark Reader' Firefox extension as work-around.

look into the browser extension Stylus (only changes CSS) or the one named "Dark Reader" (which also only changes CSS to my understanding)
