    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…

          I didn’t make it up, and I didn’t say it was all of them, that’s a straw man, I just don’t argue with anyone who claims that the GOP convention regularly crashes grindr like you do.

          I’m not making a joke, I’m pointing out hypocrisy, and I’m also calling you out, specifically, for pouring skepticism on people who claim grindr was swamped by the gop whilst not launching into this tirade against the unreliability of reliability-tracking-websites under other stories about outages.

          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.

          You’re doing the denial of publicly available information, you’re doing the ad hominem attacking and you’re making me start to believe that you’re deflecting about the homophobia.

            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.

              Interesting. You stand against homophobia, but stand for ableism. Perhaps you also measure you neighbors’ lawns with a ruler?
