It sucks to see a DDOS attack but you know you are doing something right when you have haters.

Steemit Becomes Subject of Multiple DDoS Attacks, but Blockchain and Associated Apps Remain Untouched
Steemit provides a blogging front-end that users can contribute to in the discussion of multiple topics, using a tokenized system as part of the Steem blockchain. According to a report from CryptoSlate, Steemit was recently taken down for 25 minutes on March 14th, during which time that the platform was the subject of sustained distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. Right now, reports indicate that there hasn't been an impact on the Steem blockchain or any apps associated with the blockchain. A statement from the Steem team showed that the Steemit.com website was still experiencing issues with accessibility in the following day. With this kind of attack, multiple computers are used in an effort to overwhelm the servers of a particular web service, which was Steemit.com, in this case. To do so, the attack usually involves a high abundance of messages, connection requests, and malformed data, which easily forces the shutdown. Real actions of the users are unable to be processed
