>need to announce

Really? Are they announcing, or just being themselves. I guess in a certain way we all "announce" who we want to be perceived as in public.

Yes announcing, when it's at the top of their profile for whatever website profile/tech talk/whatever they have.
Or vegetarian. Or pet owners. Or gamers.
That reminds me of a joke I read the other day:

Bystander: "Oh my god, this man is dying! Is anyone here a doctor!?" Vegan: "I'm a vegan"

Or hackers.
The term "hacker", despite its current dillution with bastardizations like "growth hacker" still holds its caveat - you don't get to call yourself a hacker. It's a term others may apply to you.
