"On the night of July 17—the Sunday that check-in for the [Republican National] convention began—there was a 120 percent increase in users online in the area, more than all previous evenings in July. As of last Wednesday, a representative from Grindr tells Broadly, “more than a thousand guys have used the app near the Quicken Loans Arena.” The total attendance of the RNC is estimated to have been roughly 20,000 people, so this data suggests about five percent of attendees used Grindr during the convention." https://www.vice.com/en/article/cleveland-was-bombarded-with-white-dudes-on-grindr-during-the-rnc/ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (3 children) Imagine making an arena sport out of quicken loans permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children) No. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) Too late, I already did, now speedbanking is in the olympics permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago Still better than Raygun permalink fedilink source parent [–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (1 child) Honestly, if these republican leaders were honest and open about their homosexuality, I’d respect that. But they push strong anti-gay policies, gussied up as “family values,” and then when they’re out in the road away from their families they hit up Grindr. That I can’t respect.
