no the reason is in the post.
:/
it is because steemit is using Object.assign rather than the es2015 object spread

More then half the world uses IE and to cut them off with no word on it and when asked if it will get fixed they go silent says alot. or atleast to me.

Telling people they should use a differnt browser is not a solution to steemits problem. Steemit didnt even come out with an announcement on it so people that use IE could be ready for it.

Claiming it is IE's fault that steemit made some bad updates is crazy.

I think its insane im expected to run chrome for steemit when every other site in the world i can access with IE. How many steemit users still have no clue why they cant log in?
