I was looking at, what can be thought of as Steemit's "block explorer", Steemd and I saw the following notice "Warning: Service Interruption - head block age: 5 minutes ago":
Does this mean that the Witnesses have not created a block for 5 minutes?
That's a significant amount of time in Steemit.com-land...
This doesn't seem to be a planned outage. Does anyone know what's going on (and will this post even get mined / displayed on Steemit.com)
I saw that and freaked out as well. I hope that doesn't happen again in the future. big upvote and follow your blog, hope we can communicate through this channel!
Been trying to reach you. Left you a buzz on steemit.chat. Or join steegigs discord: https://discord.gg/wWrnSXK
I believe that I've responded to some of them now - it is / was Saturday evening though 🍻😛

3 months later, it happened again. 3 hours ago and counting.
I had to Google to find out the significance of it.
