See every crash on Grindr during RNC or otherwise large grouping of right-wingers. Not necessarily a rule but definitely a pattern. They do talk a lot about patterns and the like, funny they don’t have better self reflection though.
Those stories are largely nothingburgers and aren’t indicative of anything. Grindr won’t magically crash because of an influx of users, that’s not how it works. The sole purpose of those stories is so libs can justify going “hah right wing people are gay take that” in a disgusting manner.
The purported link has been studied repeatedly, most studies find no link at all, there are few possible indications, but if it exists it’s very weak.
But there is no ‘spike’ in users. The only story is existing users are moving around (which is true of… any big movement of people). So when I say ‘influx’, I just mean people moving from one place to another. Nobody is possibly claiming that republican party conventions somehow make tens of thousands of people sign up to Grindr, right?
Well, unfortunately I’ll have to disagree somewhat because the amount of conservative gays(dls mostly) I’ve had the displeasure of speaking to, one of which heavily recommended 2000 mules. However I wouldn’t put it past a lib to own the rightoids by stretching the truth more than a fair bit.

I agree with your overall point but an online service crashing due to a huge spike in users is definitely a thing.

I’ll be looking into it though, sounds concerning
Aye, I get it. But best I can ever tell, the research just doesn’t agree that it’s a thing. Don’t mind being proved wrong.
