"I guess that's the price to pay to have such a popular website that's maintained by a single person."

Why do you think, it is only one? There is definitely help with the moderation for example.

I can't find the source, but there is an article that mentions the entire site is moderated by 2 people. Maybe they've added a third since then.

I think the 2nd person in the article you read was Scott Bell, who stopped working on HN around 2019 [1]. Still, dang isn't the only moderator here [2], just the only one who posts publicly.
