Which loops back around to ‘self-reported anonymous data on the Internet isn’t reliable’. Either Atlanta has better infrastructure and no down time happened (honestly possible) or the people there didn’t bother reporting it to DownDetector.
The ability to do a Vulcan salute is genetic, and I always wonder what Trek would have looked like if Nimoy didn’t have the gene for it. Or if he hadn’t been Jewish, since peeking at the priestly blessing as a kid is what he said inspired it.
That one is probably too well known. Umm, do we all know about the officially licensed TOS novel Killing Time by Van Hise that had a reprint issued because it was too gay? (Kirk/Spock) I have one of the original versions around the house somewhere.
I feel like I’m shouting into the void every time I point out republicans are not the only people that come into town for republican conventions, and a lot of service workers and blue collar workers (ie, people most likely to come into town for the convention for their job) are queer.
The Republican Party attracts violent racists and misogynists, and they are overwhelmingly straight white men because that’s the demographic that shit attracts. Not that no gay people are like that, but there’s a reason we’re second only to black women when it comes to voting Democrat. The idea that closeted gays are secretly controlling every branch of government right now and not the straight bigots that overwhelmingly make up the republican party is frankly homophobic.
Thanks for confirming that not only are you interacting in intentional bad faith, you also think it’s impossible to use a VPN to access downdetector and that nobody would ever do such a thing on the internet. Don’t think too hard about why it’s so important to you to “prove” that Republicans are mostly gay.
Obviously some gay Republicans exist, and I pity them. Acting like it’s the entire party is both stupid and homophobic. Sorry, straight people are the majority and cause most of society’s problems.
You’ve been on the internet for more than 10 minutes and believe absolutely nobody would submit a fake DownDetector report for a laugh? Not even one person, because the data of a website that lets anyone click a button that says ‘I’m having a problem’ is a perfect capture of reality? Just making sure I’m understanding you correctly.
I said other things in that comment, but the fact VPNs exist and that it can be done is relevant to the data’s trustworthiness regardless of whether or not it happened but sure dawg. That’s exactly what I said: it’s a vast conspiracy. Whatever lets you not engage with how desperately you need Republicans to secretly be gay.
Where are the NYC and Boston Republican conventions, man? That’s gotta be the only way anyone can have problems accessing Grindr, right?
‘Tons of more traffic in an area than is typical can overwhelm a cell network’ is more grasping at straws than ‘this site that uses the IP of anyone who responds to approximate their location is an objective measure of local internet traffic, also VPNs don’t exist’? Please be real.
Were you ever able to find those Republican conventions in Boston, NYC, and every other city lit up on the map? It’s not just one problem with this argument, it’s absolute Swiss cheese.
Oh now I understand that actually the problem is evil gays control the government, thanks for clearing that up. Suddenly I no longer care how cell phone networks work or if data is real.
As in, the traffic it experienced wasn’t enough to cause server problems? Weird how that works.
I’m sure the alleged difficulty in accessing Grindr has nothing to do with thousands of extra people flooding an area and overloading the local cell networks, not all of whom are even Republican and plenty of which are gay.
It makes a heat map based on problems reported by users that go to DownDetector and report a problem. Have you ever heard of sampling errors?
I linked Grindr’s actual server status page earlier if you missed it (edited it into the wrong comment): https://status.grindr.com/ zero issues reported today.
But I guess a bunch of unverifiable reports is more trustworthy than the actual server status itself.
Once again, this ‘Republicans are secretly so gay’ meme stinks and DownDetector is not an objective measure of internet traffic. See this video for a more detailed breakdown.
When thousands of out-of-town delegates, staffers, and media personnel flood a single convention hub, the sudden data influx routinely overwhelms local cellular towers and app infrastructure
Wow, every single person in those groups must be a Republican! 🙄
In my first reply I linked a video that explains the problems with the Republicans crash grindr’ meme.
Again, this is not measuring traffic from Grindr. It’s showing user reports to DownDetector on a heat map. That’s not remotely the same as measuring traffic to Grindr or a reflection of the actual server status of Grindr, primarily because anyone can add ‘data’ to it, regardless of its veracity.
Btw, here’s the official Grindr server status. It’s all green and has been all day: https://status.grindr.com/
Can I go to the gender transition camp? I’ve already transitioned, but it sounds fun.
Live feed of my monster cat that bruises my sternum when trying to wake me up for breakfast by sitting on me.
I don't think that Fetterman guy is actually a rodent, either. This tweet might not be entirely factually based, hyperbolic, and possibly even a joke.
It was white under that?? Holy shit!
Chewy.com might have it at the same price or cheaper.
I’d honestly be shocked if it’s not already floating around somewhere!

Do you actually think Dallas doesn’t have a gayborhood or hookups??

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what DownDetector is and what it does.
