MSM (men who have sex with men) in touch with each other (among other things).

I guess now there are plenty of other similar apps - Grindr is turning into a scapegoat for all kinds of things these days, seems like.

I dislike the term since it's unfairly applied to trans women and it also lacks a sense of community or political power.

But it's important for epidemiologists to gather numbers about men who do not identify as gay, but engage in risky behavior with other men.
