          Do you know how downdetector works? It’s not actually detecting anything, it’s 100% based on user reports.

          People are making false reports to troll, and you’re taking the bait hook, line, and sinker.

              Yes, I have been denying downdetector’s bullshit for coming on 20 years now because it’s been misleading people for that entire time.

              Also, do you regularly use calling people gay as an insult? It’s a real shitbag homophobic move.

                To be clear, I think you’re in denial about the GOP conventions regularly causing issues with Grindr and the level of closetted man-on-man action in the famously hypocritical and deflecting Republican party. I have no idea about your sexuality, don’t care what it is, and can’t deduce that from what you’re saying, but I’m concerned about your political affiliation.

                Sure, buddy. GOP definitely doesn’t have lots of repressed gay and bi people in it, because no right wing person would ever act hypocritically. You go ahead and believe whatever you want to believe about the RNC and grindr. Sorry to have upset you.

                  You’re completely missing what I’m ranting about. Don’t use downdetector, it’s worse than useless.

                    You’re repeatedly and routinely completely missing the opportunity to make this point under news stories about outages that don’t call out the hypocrisy of the Republican party.

                    Don’t parrot Republican talking points. They’re worse than regular lies.

                No one claimed it went down globally. It is possible to have a regional issue with access. Could be the CDN or some DNS service got a bit overloaded and the GOP guys didn’t get the dick they were seeking, but it’s resolved now, so not to worry. They can always check later in the evening from their hotel room.

                  I would expect something to have recorded downtime at least, but none is reported. Just saying that down detector isn’t as reliable as the official logger

                    Like I suggested, if it’s the local CDN or some DNS, grindr central would be working fine and Republicans at home could get as much dick as they liked, just those at the convention would be affected, and then only temporarily.

                    Why is it so implausible that Republicans indulge their secret sexual fantasies when they’re away from home?

                    Why aren’t you under every article claiming outage complaining about how unreliable some unreliable-website-tracking website is? Why is it only when Republicans get shown up for their hypocrisy that you’re suddenly turning the skeptical to maximum?
