Mocking MN posters

just thought I'd point out, there's a whole subreddit dedicated to MN users mocking threads / posters from this site

Thought I'd point that out to people who may be unaware

Ooooh we are back <rolls up sleeves>

I go to the 'trolls' one quite a lot, sometimes to find interesting threads on Mumsnet, sometimes to get their take on certain threads here. They're not a great bunch though, very cynical and judgy, think they're better than people here. I'm sure they're mostly wrong about people's motives here too.

I love the tattle thread. Let’s face it there is a lot of shite posted on here and some nasty posters who just want to kick people when they’re down. They make fun of those people on there. I’ve been sucked into some troll posts on here before but that thread notices them straight away and it’s like a realty check.

They're actually spot on calling out trolls!

Please can someone explain Moldies?

People left MN. Formed a group. Invited other people into group. The uninvited were sad.

See also Atrocious Cunts and numerous other spinoffs over the years.

Nothing new under the sun.

The Reddit group can spot a creative writer at 100 paces though.

Most of the people that post on there are MN users themselves. They’ve created another group that sit at the other lunch table in the school hall. Seriously though there is a lot of rubbish on both MN and Reddit. I don’t think one is much superior really. I do think it’s unkind to slag off specific users who are clearly genuine long term posters (a lot of trolls on MN) and there was a thread taking the piss out of Mnetters posting their god awful outfits which again is just unnecessarily mean.

Wow that's brought me back - do you remember the Moldies Grin...

I really, really don't think anyone is jealous or insecure about their own dress sense when they make fun of unusual outfits worn by others

That's just not a thing

No. They take photos of people who've taken the time to post their outfits so people can see what looks nice and they they laugh at them and sometimes their homes. I can only assume it's insecurity over their own dress sense otherwise it's not very nice is it.

What's the problem @ilovesooty?

I asked why you'd bother to screenshot that? I said nothing about a problem. I'm sorry my post was unclear to you.

Willmafrockfit · 04/04/2024 21:15

i started a thread and it was on reddit, not sure how i know, perhaps someone from mn said so.
anyway, it wasnt much discussion and seemed to confuse posters as i wasnt a known comedian!
bizarre experience
