I disagree. When Twilio went down a few weeks ago, the second place I headed to was HN, and found that it wasn't just for me. And since this is a meeting place for the kind of people I want to hear from (like Twilio's developers), reading the thread helped me a lot.
So I agree with the "if it's less than 5 minutes, don't report it" sentiment, but I do like it when larger outages are reported.

Also, when the down time starts you don't know how much time it will last. Having the problem reported is helpful.
