I've never seen Steemit being down so I guess you are talking about their API, which ultimately makes Steemit unusable but not technically down. It's been a while since I've moved to Busy instead of Steemit and I recommend you do the same. They are using the same API as Steemit but plan on adding an API switcher (from what I've heard) so their website is still usable even when the Steemit API is down.
