Hey, my friend, it looks like I can finally comment and reply again! Yesterday was so frustrating. I tried four times to reply to one of your posts but was defeated by a half hour of watching the whirly circle thing each time. When I read this yesterday I could feel your righteous indignation boiling over. Your post reminds me of Peter Finch's character's righteous rant on Network - I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!
Reading some of the background posts it seems like the problem was (is?) ongoing DDoS attacks and the devs doing workarounds to protect it, but that shouldn't prevent the company from communicating with us.
Love you, @mother2chicks 😘😘
Good morning Kiligirl. One of those weeks that has me in rest mode today. Sorry I didn't respond earlier.
I read a couple of articles that did respond to our cries. No DDOS attack in play. Saw an article about whales running up the price of bitcoinI wish there were more articles about people helping other people like there were several months ago. Donating to a good cause. Hurricane reparations, people that need help.
Most of what is being projected is just about winning.
Encouragement comes by the fact that the devs have implemented an extra layer of protection against DDOS attacks in the future. Things do eek out in bits of information tho not necessarily from the people expected.
There were a lot of people that didn't verbalized their frustration, that were to the point of giving up posting. That was the pressure point.
You have a much more diplomatic approach to your frustrations, i.e. busy.org. Perhaps more patience too. No time to learn a new skill set. My ability to maneuver Steemit has surprised even me. Thus a big blast of I am angry and I am not going to take it anymore.
The problems are fixed for now. Once I say my piece it is done. So appreciate you standing by me. Love your friend Ellie Mae 🐓🐓
Hey, it's been a rough two weeks! I loved your blast and have been so interested to watch people's reactions (although it's been devilishly difficult to comment on them!!). The whales have indeed been making a killing. Meanwhile i can't even get into Bittrex and Support is useless and unresponsive. You might see me getting a little less diplomatic. By the way, one of the main reasons I might have looked diplomatic was that it was SO FRIKKEN' HARD TO POST ANYTHING!!! Ah, that feels better.
We've had a surprisingly sociable weekend getting together with work friends from the place I left in May on Friday evening, then an unexpected birthday lunch with Tim's sister-in-law yesterday and her family (including the always amazing @lynb), then dinner with one of Tim's high school friends. We last saw him in January just before his wife died. Tim made an amazing Tim curry, always a treat. We are totally wiped today! I've got looks of catching up to do with comments but am so sleepy that might have to wait until tomorrow.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
Much love 😘😘
