The Reddit Tattle sub is quite the eye opener.

Giltedged · 15/01/2024 21:01

I’ve seen this trotted out a few times, that Tattle posters are lovely and supportive to other Tattle posters, it’s only influencers and celebs they are unpleasant about, and I have to admit it baffles me a bit.

There are supportive pockets of Tattle but only because they are largely echo chambers. I have seen Tattle users be absolutely awful to and about other users for even the slightest bit of swimming against the tide. I remember being on the Molly Mae thread around the time she was having her baby and someone mentioned they’d seen her in RL and she was pretty. Didn’t go down well.

Try mentioning on the LL threads you’re not totally convinced of her guilt and see how well they take it.

Say you don’t think Stacey Solomon is all bad or that Charlotte Dawson isn’t the worlds worst mother and see how long you’ll last!

Tattle users are quite as capable of tearing their own to shreds as much as any celebrity.

I had a read of a few threads on Tattle and personally I don’t think it’s any worse than Mumsnet. I actually quite liked it and it felt less personnel attacks on posters than here.

I’m starting with Reddit for the backstory and will then move on to tattle Grin

the issues sound very similar to the ones on MN tbh so I don’t really see how they’re better 🤷‍♀️

What's the back story?

I’m not sure whether I’m more interested in lurking on tattle or their own user bitchfest Reddit board…

You could do both.

Could anyone share an invitation code with me please. I would like to judge for myself what it's like 🤔

You can read all the threads without being a member but be aware the swearing is censored if you don't have an account. You'll read a lot of duck, tit and bleep and think it's all very twee. It's not.

Some of the threads about certain influencers and celebrities are horribly cruel though. As I have said before, the off topic and chat section is friendly and fun. I wouldn't want to be part of the clique who spend all day criticising Harry and Meghan, or Katie Price, or poor inoffensive Stacey Solomon!

As I said stop gatekeeping I'm allowed my opinion. And allowed to be on here so STFU

I can see why you fit in on Tattle Smile

If Tattle is so good why are you on here?

You don't need a code to read it.

Growlybear83 · 14/01/2024 17:08

You don't need to be a member to read Tattle - you just can't post.

She has milked her husbands illness from day one only now are people seeing it.

I didn’t realise that Kate Garraway’s husband was in Mexico when he had the cardiac arrest and possibly when he died.

Just remember when you're lurking, the swearwords are censored, so it sounds all twee with posters apparently using tit for shit and bleep for cunt and duck for fuck Grin

I like Tattle, the off topic section and chat though, not the influencer threads and the Kate Garraway thread is unkind, to say the least

The Kate Garraway thread is vile!!!! There are some really nasty people on that thread however, some of the Tattlers are hilarious and I am so sucked in (even though I can't get an invite for love nor money). I started reading to find out what Mother of Daughters (Instagram person) had really said and then got hooked on it.

I had a quick look at Tattle but it seems to be all about celebrities, most of whom I don't even recognise, so I don't think it's for me.

I'm trying to wean myself onto Reddit, where at least there's a better cross-section of people.

I've been addicted to Mumsnet for about four years now, visiting daily, but I don't really fit in so I mostly lurk.

I have a trans (adult) child, which doesn't go well. I was told by one poster that I ought to have my then three-year-old taken into care because I have a staffy and a staffy/rottie cross. I was told I didn't ought to be allowed to work in healthcare because of my black sense of humour. I don't own a dishwasher, I do own a toilet brush and I only shower once a day, occasionally skipping one day a week if I'm feeling lazy. I'm scum.

I'm not interested in celebrity gossip but have FOMO. Is it worth me chasing an invite?

Whoops, must have used a forbidden keyword for my post to be auto-nixed? But the Kate Garraway thread on there is easily findable. I don't use Tattle anymore but found it straightaway via Google. It's pretty mean-spirited, picking apart a widow's statement announcing the death of her husband. Not that Mumsnet is any nicer, of course.

Edited

I think with Kate Garraway, it's been very good at what actually happened with him and it's bizarre in reality.

It's also brought to light a lot of people who have started charities, trusts etc for their own gain.

Tattle rules, mumsnet drools 😝

Both are capable of being rather horrid.

EditConsultation · 05/01/2024 14:59

How can it be nice to read threads on MN, run over to tattle, copy the photos of people on to tattle and then mock others’ clothes, appearances, room decor etc? So spiteful and nasty. And very very childish.

Don't forget the Grim Reaper who haunts the Style & Beauty threads 👤
