It’s literally just a massive event causing infrastructure problems. You’d see the same downtime for other similar services at the same time. I don’t know why this meme keeps coming up.

It’s like saying I couldn’t charge my vibrating anal sex toy because my power went out. The Republicans at the convention must be all charging their own vibrating anal sex toys and taking all the power.

Its also kinda homophobic in the “the gays are self hating” kind of way. Yes. There are closeted gay Republicans. But it’s not a meaningful number to matter.

These memes just make liberals look dumb for not understanding how infrastructure works. Fuck Charlie Kirk and the Republicans. But this shit is just dumb.

Servers are not some independent resource. Heavy pressure on internet infrastructure will cause downtime or latency issues on servers even if they aren’t the ones being used directly.

Some services will work better than others as they are designed to handle spikes. Grindr likely doesn’t invest in that as it doesn’t profit them to do so. The opportunity cost aren’t worth it. Uber on the other hand would as spike pricing benefits them heavily. So they likely have server allocation to handle high demand (which takes resources from other services even more).

TLDR: Internet infrastructure is complicated and it’s not some directly allocated resource. Grindr having outages does not directly mean that Grindr is the application with high demand.
