Quick HN question... I posted this as well (prior to this post) and it was "flagged"? I titled mine "Twitter is down hard". Perhaps my titling made it seem like I was trying to be mean or something? As a developer, I was trying to convey that it was very much down across all apps, sites, services. I thought that was the proper parlance but perhaps not.

To any HN admins, sorry! I meant nothing by it!

Thanks for noting this. I checked the list before posting and after it published I didn't see any others similar. I guess I wasn't quick enough!
Some people don't like these posts and flag them, "flagged" usually means "flagged by HN users".
OK, good to know. I won't post stories like this any more. I just thought it was noteworthy.
It is noteworthy! You just lucked out, the internet is _weird_.
I wish _weird_ was all it was these days!
It could be related to the fact that a huge chunk of posts on the New page right now is about Twitter being down.
