A post about Grindr blocking all screenshots has sent Gay Twitter™ into a frenzy
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.
what are u gay ppl going to tweet about now?!!Five days later, the tweet is still going viral, with thousands of people weighing in on the ethics of using Grindr as a comedic playground. (OK, OK, there are mostly jokes… with screenshots, of course.)every dating app should do this to stop clout chasing weirdos from randomly dragging people on the internet https://t.co/E8jlWOhSIrthat’s fine because none of them are gonna top this tbh https://t.co/GrfRljBCEG pic.twitter.com/KN0ORnh4Evno more of this.
