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

      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.

          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…

                  You still haven’t owned up and apologized for using “you are gay” as an insult.

                  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.

                  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.
