Does PG actually modertate HN?

I thought he had mods like dang to take care of it for him.

I'd be more interested to hear what dang thinks of HN than what PG thinks.



You could read "The Lonely Work of Moderating Hacker News". It is a great article.

It's rather silly, but until I read this article, I'd always assumed dang was Asian.


The Chinese Da Ng?


I'd picked up from context that it was his real name, and had assumed it was his surname. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dang_(surname)


Isn't Ng a Vietnamese name?


I thought so too, but Wikipedia said Chinese, so I went with it.


He was the moderator until March 2014. https://blog.ycombinator.com/meet-the-people-taking-over-hac...


He did early on; not anymore.
