        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.

            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.

              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 completely missing what I’m ranting about. Don’t use downdetector, it’s worse than useless.

                  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…
