In his epic crusade against Telegram russian communication supervision agency (Roskomnadzor) blocked main Steemit frontend Steemit.com. As for 12:00 UTC steemit.com available through VPN only for the majority of russian ISPs.
Busy.com and other frontends is still working.
RKN blocked more than 30 mln. IPs including Amazon and Google subnets. Many of network services hosted there fall as a collateral damage. Outages spotted in online games including XBox Live and PSN, Mastercard 3DSecure, major internet and even brick-and-mortar retailers.
Telegram itself mostly not affected.

Governemnt doesn't like encryption of telegram. They want to read messages of potential terrorists and other suspects, but they can't do it because telegram protects this data. They've asked telegram CEO to provide a backdore for official to read ,essaging, mr Durov stayed layal to users privacy and human rights.

For now steemit is a collateral damage in the war against telegram.
But it is a matter of time when it will be blocked on purpose. Anybody could say anything about Putin and left unpunished - this is enough reason for blocking.

Да уж создали геморрой. У меня тут образовался круг общения, не хочется от него отказываться.
А хороших бесплатных сервисов нет? Может есть опыт использывания? Я поставил бесплатный Стелс в ГуглХром, сейчас работаю через него, но он тупит конкретно.

Absolutely do not see a problem in situaton of locking this messenger. In its place, instantly there will be 2-3 competitors who will be more accommodating with the authorities.
Still there is an opinion that this is a PR action. Durov, owner of Telegrams is known for his tricks and marginal acts

Они работают ну настолько непрофессионально, это пипец. Если об этом узнают западные СМИ и напишут в New Yorker, какой смех там будет. Не надо даже придумывать fake news (как у нас делается) тут сразу всё понятно становится. Цирк.
