Why is steemit.chat down? 24h of no access makes for shaky ground
I imagined it was something to do with my computer but a few friends here in Bali have now confirmed for me that they also cannot get onto steemit.chat
Could anyone shed any light on this situation for me please? This is unusual for them to be offline for so long.
I would dearly love to use their private message service today!
As much as I love Discord for its simplicity, steemit.chat remains to be (in my mind) the main post promotion tool for all our work and more than this it is currently the easiest way for us Steemians to communicate privately.
For those of you who are not familiar with Discord here is a shot from my bedtime post promotion session last night.
And what about a STEEMIT PRIVATE MESSAGE service?
Does anyone know if Steemit are planning to introduce a private messaging service within the platform?
Seems like this would make sense for everyone?
Private messaging is a crucial feature for most other major social media sites.
As founder of the @steemshop account I am currently in the process of running escrow transaction tests, looking for potential pitfalls. And one of them has been clearly identified now.
- Having the ability to private message each other is an essential part of our escrow system.
So... pretty please STEEMIT DEVS will you conjure us up a Steemit messaging service for the next hardfork?
I do believe this would be a game-changer!
Yes, Im missing the Steemit Chat too. :)
The answer has been provided by @uwelang below. So, hopefully back soon!

Thank goodness we have someone here with their ear to the ground! Thanks buddy. I hadn't seen this.
lol - no but i was searching since yesterday what the problem is and other Steemians found it much earlier than me - for the German group we - @twinner - created a slack group already until chat is back
I really hope it returns soon! I have gotten reliant. I am struggling to promote right now...
Still no joy. We miss you steemit.chat!!!!
Steemitchat has been down for me for over 24hrs. Greetings from Missouri. :)
Hello from Bali! Yes, still no joy with the site. Fingers crossed it will return to us in one piece!? Perhaps it is having an upgrade :)
I am dealing with the same question today...and since I would like to make breakthrough it would be really helpful if chat would work :) :) @lavitaebella
Do you use Discord? It is just as good. If not better :)
Yea its been maybe even more than a day that its been down. Sucks, but life goes on.
Yes indeed my friend... life goes on :)
Full Steem Ahead!
thank you for sharing
My pleasure :)
I opened a new discord channel with the intention of building deeper connections between steemians. It's still small but growing, if you'd like to check it out you can find the link in my two latest posts :-)
If you wouldn't mind, could you send me a link here and I will check it out :)
