I agree with you, @timcliff. It was the very first time I witnessed this kind of challenge in steemit. To tell you the truth, the members of my whatsapp group were freaking out. However, some managed to post using busy.org . Personally, I didn't really put up any post, because steemit.com was down. I only used busy.org to respond to comments on my previous blog posts.
The witnesses are responsible for the stability of their nodes.
There is a limit to what they can do
