yeah that was weird. so Steemit crashed or it was an update?
I made a post at the same time the platform went down, and I managed to view it. Post is now deleted, but at the time, my post was full of comments that were YEARS old. Upon refresh, the site went back to crashing. I wish I screenshotted it but I was at work. It was pretty strange.
The entire Steem blockchain was offline for a few hours. That's pretty weird, but things seem back to normal now.
