> Think of "twitter being down" as Silicon Valleys equivalent to hollywoods "Lindsey Lohan is drunk in jail again".. This is Hacker News, not Globe for Hackers

  it's called hacker news. but for starters, "hacker" implies not being spineless or giving a fuck about peer groups. hackers also don't like censorship; so you see how hacker news is anything but. it's an involuntary joke, nothing more. the word has been appropiated by those who are needy like that: you don't call yourself hacker, just like you don't call yourself saint. only mediocre people to whom it never applied and never will would do that. the end.
