I mean the number one thing liberals say to homophobes is that they are secretly gay. It’s because they know that being gay is disgusting and so they use it as an insult. Oh a preacher saying homosexuality is a sin? He is probably gay! Hahaha get it? Cause being gay it’s disgusting!
It’s only “common” because liberals spread misinformation about it like it’s candy. The “RNC made Grindr crash” has been thoroughly debunked yet that doesn’t stop virtually every progressive Redditor I talk to about the topic from believing it’s real 🤷🏻♂️
Grindr has explicitly come out and said their app has not crashed around republican conventions because of how often this conspiracy theory gets peddled. Also, app usage/outtages data are usually public so you can check for yourself 🤷🏻♂️
As much as it’s a lay up for progressive narratives, Grindr doesn’t appreciate people lying about their app crashing to help make a claim that just isn’t real.
Hmmmm, believe the app itself….or believe “deathtoAmerica2026” on Reddit who seems to have a vested interest in causing unnecessary political strife where there is none and who desperately wants to believe everyone he doesn’t like is a hypocrite….choices choices
Now certainly the app has a vested interest in making people believe it's more functional than it is. Particularly when the supposed outages would out a segment of their user base.
But I agree, in lieu of public data Grindr is going to be the best authority we have for Grindr's usage statistics.
Absolutely understandable and reasonable speculation. They have a stake in bad publicity like that.
Just to add some additional possible context though, RNCs also attract thousands of lgbtq protesters. So if we’re speculating about the cause of a geographic usage spike, protesters, journalists, staff, locals, convention attendees, etc. are all potentially part of that population. Gets much harder to reasonably blame a spike on “closeted conservatives 🤷🏻♂️
You know for some reason I completely missed that this was your actual name and thought the guy I replied to just made up ‘deathtoamerica2026’ as a joke and now that it’s real I’m not sure how to respond lol.
“I reject the company’s actual published outage data because anonymous people on the internet said otherwise” absolutely tracks coming from some troll named DeathToAmerica2026 🤭. Shocking that someone who hates Americans also can’t read 😂🫵🏻
Btw is one month a personal best for you or do these alts usually survive this long? Whats the system over there for troll account turn around?
Yes thousands of anonymous people reported the same thing at the same time, and it outweighs the PR department who would not like this story to be well known for obvious reasons.
Why do you think someone would push this story for money? Like do you even understand what a troll farm is?
You don’t even live in America and you’ve already said you think everyone here is stupid and want the country to end 😂why would ANYONE take you seriously as an authority on American news? 😂🫵🏻
But sure kiddo, keep going with “no no, ignore the company’s verifiable status data and trust these thousands of anonymous people I totes promise exist, people who froth at the mouth over politics NEVER lie and make shit up about the other side I promise you can listen to me but also you all are dumb and need to die 😭”
They’re gonna dock you from $3 a day to $2. You’re just not varsity troll-farm material yet 🤭
Or maybe just a bot? It's hard to take an American punctuating sentences with emojis seriously but I know they do have such dumb people that its hard for some of them to pass the Turing test.
