Writing @dang is a no-op. He'll respond if he sees the mention, but there's no alert sent to him. Email [email protected] if you want to get his attention.
That said, the feature you requested is already implemented but you have to know it is there. Dang mentioned it in a recent comment that I bookmarked: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41230703

> HN is _not_ a monolithic bulletin board -- the messages on a BBS were never (AFAIK) sorted by 'popularity' and users didn't generally have the power to demote or flag posts.
I don't think the feature was that unknown. Per Wikipedia, the CDA passed in 1996 and Slashdot was created in 1997, and I doubt the latter's moderation/voting system was that unique.

You might like this then: https://hckrnews.com/
Although HN's algorithm depends (mostly) on user input for how it presents the posts, it still favours some over others and still runs afoul here. You would need a literal 'most recent' chronological view and HN doesn't have that for comments. It probably should anyway!
