Hey SteemInmates
So Steemit had to be placed in solitary confinement for a few hours and a small portion of the internet was up in arms because nobody puts Steemit in the corner am I right? I guess we're back up and running but yeah still a bit buggy from what I can tell but ey bloggers got a blog bro!
My first time getting forked over
I haven't been using the site that long so this was my first hard fork experience and boy did it stir up some comedic gold.
I decided to check out Twitter and Discord and some of the questions and responses are freaking hilarious, people really tend to trip out when their free internet money is at risk.
The Hardest Forking Memes
In a bid not to shame anyone, I've taken my favourite questions and responses I read and contextualised them in memes so everyone can enjoy them. If this was your reaction, its ok we still love you!
It got to everyone eventually
As the hours went by some Steemians started to get hella frustrated lol
Pretend to know what's going on
This was actually my favourite reaction when people would ask why the site is down and a user would respond. Oh its HF20 and their response would be "Oh, ok cool thanks" - Dude you know damn well you don't know what that means
Daily content creators were like
Its already in my drafts on busy or eSteem I just need to publish it, can this site just start working already, I have Yoga at 4 pm
It was a rollercoaster of emotion
Steemians we like I reloaded the site its up again, or wait, no its down. Is it up for you? Its down for me and vice versa like the entire day
Can I get a witness?
Thanks to everyone who rolled up their sleeves and got to work while the rest of us watched YouTube
If you have any good hard fork memes share them with me in the comments lol
Allow me to indulge you in a little sing-along
While sitting around the campfire waiting for the site to get back up I thought we could all gather around in sing-song. Please learn the lyrics off by heart, thank you and it goes a little something like this. DJ drop a sick beat for me one time!
Chorus
It's the hard fork life (uh-huh) for us
It's the hard fork life, for us!
Steada upvotes, we get tricked
Steada payouts, we get kicked
It's the hard fork life!
Verse
I don't know how to be, no website loading for me, God only knows
Gotta try Partiko, eSteem or Busy - see how it goes
Downtime and 400 errors are all that I see; you ask me the websites name?
S, to the Teezo, E to the Mizzo, I to the Tizzo
("It's a hard knock life!")
Responses going crazy on discord and Twitter, what's with that?
Noobs looking for answers stat! but Y'all knew that!
Didn't you read the hard fork blog post?
Yes for the next few hours Steemit is toast
Yes the update ran a little late,
You will have to wait
Some of the questions online about it are so cringe
Relax and enjoy a Netflix binge
Chorus
It's the hard fork life (uh-huh) for us
It's the hard fork life, for us!
Steada upvotes, we get tricked
Steada payouts, we get kicked
It's the hard fork life!
