But did Steemit fall like Gab, Minds, Bitchute, Brighteon (Real Video), Infowars, you know, because those websites were attacked, and they continue to be attacked, & even Facebook was attacked, and some of those social networks fell, crashed, at least for a while, but that didn't happen to Steemit, at least not yet, right, which is better than being vulnerable when you are not decentralized, and Gab fell because it was not decentralized, right?

Did you see how bitshares just froze? And people lost shittons of money?
Steem freezes often. I've seen it happen a bunch of times over the last year. Steem is also affected by the markets way too much. A working publishing platform should be able to operate no matter the state of the market, otherwise it's not working right.

Agreed. Can we seed & mine Steem at all like Bitcoin & BitTorrent? That's what I want for Christmas.
Not really. Steem uses DPoS, so you would have to compete to become a witness which is near impossible without sucking some major D.
Mining here is more about creating consistent blog posts and finding community which will support you.

When I say mine, I'm trying to reference the computer servers, nodes, that run the Steem blockchain. I want to say "MINING." Or, I also like the other term used on BitTorrent, "SEEDING." But I'm trying to describe either what serving, witnessing, is, or what it should include for Steem. I just want to get more people involved in witnessing. I want more computer servers, nodes, & more compensation for all of that, for Steem, like we might already see with Bitcoin. Why can't Steem borrow from BitTorrent & Bitcoin?
Well it would need a redesign from the ground up which would break the blockchain. Its very hard to change blockchains once they have started. I'd suggest googling steem dpos witness to understand how it works. Its competitive and only ever a small finite number of them

That might mean that a better blockchain social network will emerge from the ashes someday if it hasn't already, then, maybe.
Yes, this space is still so young. I know of a dozen different projects with different approaches. It will take time.
I'm interested in non crypto social media too like diaspora

We were attacked once and it slowed down the Steemit website for a couple days and made it really hard to post.
How often is Bitcoin attacked? I wanted to emphasize on the difference between Steem getting hit and Gab. We saw Gab down for a whole week because of what happened for example. Decentralized networks can handle attacks better.
