No worries, Gillian!

I've been playing this online writing gig for 20-odd years, and so far Steemit has shown itself to be far more resilient than most of them... perhaps because the community members who care are empowered to take collective action, rather than "request" that some overworked centralized structure take action. And that's definitely an upside.

I sincerely didn't mean for this to sound depressing... but I also realize that "realistic" often comes across as "depressing!"
