I guess if all else fails when trying to censor
@lexiconical! I had this same thought. I don't think it's a personal attack to censor, as much as an attack on the entire Steemit platform.
Let's face it: There are hacker-developers in the competition (i.e. popular social media sites) who are not going to stand idly by and let this decentralized platform gain Steem; and, threaten their standing.
It's clear that the persistent tech-woes is a major dilemma for hopes of growing the site.
I can't help but believe that Steemit might be affecting the downtrend of STEEM.
Of course, I could be wrong.
Btw, I actually went to busy.org to upload comments for a while, as several attempts to get past the looping Loading got a little annoying.
One good thing, is that while extremely slow, it ultimately uploaded the comments.
Thanks for sharing!
Peace.
"I can't help but believe that Steemit might be affecting the downtrend of STEEM."
If so, that might actually be good. I'm confident they can address these issues in the medium to long term. If that is what's holding us back, it's a fixable problem.
Thanks for your optimism @lexiconical. I am truly encouraged.
Now, if I log in tomorrow and the domain is for sale, I won't hold it against you. I see how hard you work; and will know you were as blindsided as I was.
Creating all of those flawless witness posts; AND, replying to comments makes me pray that you're pacing yourself...burnout isn't cool ;+)....
Btw, why don't you set yourself up to become a witness. You've got my vote. In all the research, I haven't been able to find how to un-vote a witness. I know it's possible. Do you have any links?
One last thing, you've had a tough week defending your pal. I've read a few of the comments, even commented on a post with your pic of 'you' as a cat emerging out of the waters.
Again, thanks for the encouragement!
Peace.
"I see how hard you work; and will know you were as blindsided as I was."
Hah, yes, I'm sure this will be a passing problem. I'm certainly not expecting any greater ramifications...
"burnout isn't cool ;+)...."
What's that? Hah...I'm trying to take some time off, but I am eager to remain productive.
"you've had a tough week defending your pal"
I'd defend anyone who was being attacked with misinformation.
"commented on a post with your pic of 'you' as a cat emerging out of the waters."
Wait, is there a post mocking me somewhere with a cat photoshop? I'm going to need a link if so, gotta see this.
"Again, thanks for the encouragement!"
Same to you!
Wait, is there a post mocking me somewhere with a cat photoshop? I'm going to need a link if so, gotta see this. (lol)
Ha! Remember, it’s a new week; but, here it is…

Yes, when I wrote that I realized that this type of work is fuel for your fire (life). As air to lungs, creative design is steem to your engine.
And on that note, Steem On!
Peace.
Hah, not a bad article. No character assassination! Pretty unbiased view.
8/10, would be a cat again. Upvoted.
Thankfully, @lexiconical the community has seemingly moved on from that spark-to-flame week!
I tried without luck to give Mrs. B a welcome shout out; so, pass on the greeting for all of us who didn’t get through, when you speak with Jerry.
I notice certain accounts have to go through another platform; and, I’m thinking it might have something to do with posts with a lot of graphics.
Peace.
Will do.

Not sure what you mean, but Busy has been more reliable so this may be why they are moving.
