I had no idea who Nathan Marz was. When I saw the title, I assumed "Leaving Twitter" was implying discontinuing usage of Twitter from an outsider's perspective, not an employee parting ways with the company. The original title is completely unambiguous.
AFAIK all of the mods are YC insiders, so they'd know Marz by name.

If it is as you imply, that's a pretty serious Theory of Mind failure on their part.

I don't understand why Hacker News allows us to submit titles with our links. If they are just going to be overridden, then the software should automatically fetch the title from the web page without user input.
I wouldn't mind so much if it were accountable. There's no mechanism to challenge a title change. Between that and the arbitrary banning of sites, I usually think twice about submitting good things.
