That's because a lot of conservatives are closeted homosexuals.

    Once again, this ‘Republicans are secretly so gay’ meme stinks and DownDetector is not an objective measure of internet traffic. See this video for a more detailed breakdown.

    When thousands of out-of-town delegates, staffers, and media personnel flood a single convention hub, the sudden data influx routinely overwhelms local cellular towers and app infrastructure

    Wow, every single person in those groups must be a Republican! 🙄

    Yeah, if they took town Grindr in Dallas, they would've taken Grindr worldwide or at least in North America. Basically nobody localizes apps like this, infrastructure is centralized. Yes, there is usually load balancing, but pretty much never is the load balancing logic "geographical location X always connects to server Y". Maybe they'd do it by continent so Europe and North America hit servers in the EU vs the US or Canada respectively, but not on a city or state level, that's ridiculous, extra complexity for negative benefits.
