Grindr and underlying network infrastructure can definitely take big loads.

Interesting choice of words for such a serious conversation, I'm offended

Because as far as I can tell it’s a meme based on a website which takes user reports as evidence of an outage, which would be very susceptible to false reports because it’s funny.

Even if we assume each and every one is instantly hopping on the grind (which is a HUGE if), it would still be a drop in the bucket compared to the usual traffic of Grindr in Dallas.

Honestly, fair point. I don't know the methodology for the outage tracking, you could be right on this one.

Attack Republicans for what they are (or are shamefully revealed to be), not what would be funny if true.

Fair

That just gives actual straight homophobes an excuse ("I’m not homophobic because I’m definitely not gay") and spreads the narrative that homophobia is just something gay people do to themselves.

This is where you go off the rails. It's a very weird jump to make and is completely illogical. You're claiming that Republican Grindr jokes reinforce a narrative that only gay people hate gay people, and to that I say, respectfully: what the fuck lol
