The Republican National Convention in Texas made an odd choice to flash Hasan Piker's underwear photos in their jumbotron, and it backfired.

      Glad it’s working for you, though.

        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.

          Mm.

          Probably should have led with that.

            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.

                    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…

            Is Grindr also in denial?

                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

                    You’re arguing against positions I don’t have, you good?
