Something that I learned from this is that HN has a status Twitter. Rarely used though, which is a testament to the team.

Only they never posted anything during the outage there

Unsure what you mean there, as the linked tweet was from 4h ago.

they did, if you click on the link in the post you replied to, you'll see it is a link to their post from today about the outage.
