I recommend people to calm down. Just because an issue is happening doesn't mean you can easily figure out what it is or even how to fix it once you know.
Fixes can also negatively affect others parts and it takes testing to effectively fix something.
If you really can't handle it, try utilizing busy.org or eSteem during this time. I am quite positive they are not sitting there being lazy as their platform has issues. Getting angry will not make them work faster.
A fix will come. At least the platform is still able to give you info and work, albeat slowly. It could not work at all.
Thanks for working guys!
