It’s enviable.
The gracefulness of
The cat’s love.

The site has been a mess, off and on, for a few days now. I read something about hack attacks or whatever. It is irritating. But then I remind myself that I haven't given a damn about my other social media sites in quite awhile. So I'll be patient and, as they say, steem on.
It's frustrating... But I agree with you, we just need to be patient. This is the most promising social media site left I think, so I hope they can pull through. (well, part of me still loves Twitter, but there is also so much to dislike about Twitter these days...)
