Grindr screenshots are a ubiquitous part of Gay Twitter™. They can be inserted into pretty much any online convo, usually along with a meme or an emoji.
But could the controversial practice be a part of Gay Twitter’s™ past, just like private Twitter “Circles?”One Twitter user sounded the alarm Friday, posting an apparent screenshot from a Grindr chat with the text blocked out.
In the replies, they understandably wondered what gay men would possibly tweet about without the safety net of a Grindr screen grab.
