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 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.
Calling homophobic jokes about how every conservative shitbag is actually gay a Republican talking point is certainly…a choice.
You can call Republicans homophonic shitbags without also using “haha ur gay” as an insult. I just did it, it was really easy. But apparently still too difficult for some people it seems…
I didn’t make it up, and I didn’t say it was all of them, that’s a straw man, I just don’t argue with anyone who claims that the GOP convention regularly crashes grindr like you do.
I’m not making a joke, I’m pointing out hypocrisy, and I’m also calling you out, specifically, for pouring skepticism on people who claim grindr was swamped by the gop whilst not launching into this tirade against the unreliability of reliability-tracking-websites under other stories about outages.
I may be wrong and your post history might be full of this particular rant, but I doubt you can point to a similar comment you’ve made under a story that doesn’t reflect badly on the Republicans, because I suspect that this unreliability claim exists purely because you get cognitive dissonance from the gop crashing grindr.
You’re doing the denial of publicly available information, you’re doing the ad hominem attacking and you’re making me start to believe that you’re deflecting about the homophobia.
You still haven’t owned up and apologized for using “you are gay” as an insult.

First of all, are you really asking me to link to specific Lemmy comments when I said I have had a consistent pattern for 20 years? I suggest you look into how old the fediverse is.
Second of all, I encourage you to stalk my comment history for like, literally two minutes and you will see how stupidly off the deep end you have gone calling me a MAGA idiot instead of accepting that you are wildly wrong and fell for a shitty troll.
You’re doing the denial of publicly available information
Ok, let’s talk about publically available information then. Can you show me on the doll where these outages are happening? Here is the externally validated status page for grindr: https://status.grindr.com/
Next, let’s look at how DownDetector works on the literal first sentence of Wikipedia after the intro:
The information that is provided by the site is based upon user outage reports, which are collected from various sources, including the page for each website on Downdetector itself and Twitter.[4][1]
Please, tell me more about how I’m the one making stuff up. Or alternatively just promise me that next time you will do 5 seconds of research when someone tells you a new fact.
You still haven’t owned up and apologized for using “you are gay” as an insult.
Because I literally never said that, ever, to anyone, not today and not ever, not even when I was an obnoxious teenager, right when homophobic slurs were all the rage and I didn’t do it then, despite being called gay for not bullying kids for supposedly being gay. So no, that’s not what I said and it’s certainly not what I meant, ever.
It was just another straw man, increasingly clearly deliberate misinterpretation in your growing pile and another ad hominem non-rebuttal from you of any of the real points I raised.
Regarding “externally validated” status logs, I just don’t know if I can explain a third way how an outrage which was reported as local to the Republican convention would be more likely caused by the local CDN servers or some DNS issue, not grindr’s central servers. I don’t understand why you’re still looking for it there. The headline would have been “grindr goes down globally during RNC” not “grindr outage at RNC host city. Again. After all the other times.”
Maybe check in a dictionary for some extra clarity on the distinction between “city-wide” and “globally”!
I notice how you didn’t link me to Wikipedia or anyone (outside the gop) talking about downdetector being unreliable, and wikipedia only seems to be linking articles saying how quick it is at spotting outages and how sysadmins of large websites rely on them for information. Seems like the people who understand how the internet works disagree with you.
As I suspected, you’re unable to point me to even a single instance of you ever claiming in the past that this or that status monitoring website is unreliable and not to be trusted outside of it being a story that’s damaging to the famously homophobic Republican party.
I don’t know what the source of your cognitive dissonance is about the gop conventions regularly causing localised problems with grindr, and I don’t know how obsessive you believe outrageous dangerous commie leftist socialists are to go RNC-chasing just to create a spike in evidence of outages, but what I do know is that when something keeps happening again and again, to the point of it being old news, the plausibility to me of it just being a random coincidence or some vast elaborate hoax drops.
I just don’t know if I can explain a third way how an outrage which was reported as local to the Republican convention would be more likely caused by the local CDN servers or some DNS issue
All of those possibilities would be reflected in the incident log on that status page. You have no facts to back up your claim. Show me one, yes just one article where this outage is demonstrated or reported on that isn’t just regurgitating downdetector. Surely if your claim is true there would be at least one article or video demonstrating the outage, right?
Also I see you’re still insisting I’m some red hatted MAGA because you were too lazy to read my post history for 2 minutes.
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.

No one claimed Grindr activity didn’t increase, but it never went down
Unlike a whole bunch of republican reps and staffers.
You’re completely missing what I’m ranting about. Don’t use downdetector, it’s worse than useless.
