This isn’t true, it’s never been true, and it’s just homophobia. source
TL;DW: down detector is based on user reports, all of the articles that report on this bullshit rely on down detector for “proof”. It’s just people trolling and we’ve been falling for it for years.
As you can see from grindr’s official status page there have been no outages yesterday (the start of the RNC) or today
lol
How does grinder go down in a specific location?
I’m sure the service is spatially partitioned, but I’m curious about the technical details
Search, “How to go down on Grindr?”
it’s not, apparently it’s just people trolling and media spreading unverified informations (not that a simple picture should be treated as reliable information)
Well you can see why those secret conservative gays picked that guy as their bigoted Liberace to lead them into a technocratic feudal hellscape where Christian evangelical shariah law is implemented so they can stay closeted ad infinitum, perhaps get hunted down by gay ICE. He’s stunning. Just a perfect specimen of manly men who totally got carried by beefcake firefighters against his will during 9/11.
I saw a comment somewhere saying that the grindr usage peaks that people associate with republican conventions are actually pretty common in all sorts of events of this scale that involve a large crew of people for organizing and running the event.
Which would indicate even republicans have their share of lgbtq, just hypocritical ones. It’s not like having the circus in town makes people horny, they’re horny for the circus folk in town
I’m sure there’s plenty, but what I meant is that the grindr stuff is not necessarily proof that the politician themselves are gay, it could very well be their staff
Which wouldn’t change the part where they’re helping to advance hypocritical policies
I always read it as people saying the party in general has a big enough gay base and membership in general, including politicians and aids and attendees, that grindr always has issues when they gather in large numbers in one place. Which still seems true this week.
