Obviously Facebook employees talk to each other about when they're being slammed to the degree that we (as a company, and as individuals) have been recently. There's been no rallying cry for everyone to rush to HN - we want to be here and correct factually inaccurate information and explain how things work and why things are being done from a vision and technical point of view. You'll note that pretty much everyone who posts to HN are long-time members (aristus created his account nearly 5 years ago, and has 4k+ karma, lbrandy 3.5 years ago with 2k+ karma). I only created an account of my own 9-ish months ago (before I started at Facebook), although I'm a long-time reader. This isn't a sudden rush of support from people who don't consider themselves part of this community. We usually identify ourselves as employees (you can take a look through comments from aristus, mkjones, finiteloop, myself), and as you say, most of us include our affiliation in our profiles as well in case we forget to on a particular comment. This isn't by chance - we're told early on that anonymously/covertly posting about Facebook is incredibly not cool.
