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

Waaaaagggghhhh

Why would you even bother to screenshot that?

Is there a way to convert thanks to karma?

Could this be implemented?

I'm assuming everyone has googled their MN user name by now for any sub reddits / tattle threads.

Why would they? They either don't give a shit, or they don't want to feel worse than they do already.

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.

That's on Tattle. Not Reddit.

It's been around for years I don't think anyone really cares anymore

Have Tattle started a thread about this thread yet? 😂

They don't need to, there's an established Mumsnet discussion already ongoing, thread part 35. Or maybe 36, I'm not sure. Mostly taking the mickey out of hideously expensive high fashion items highlighted in Style and Beauty. I don't think they're jealous, more a bit bemused at the cost of stuff that looks so cheap.

Gwenhwyfar · 04/04/2024 21:07

Many years ago I was called disablist on that group. My crime? Saying I didn't have a bedside lamp near my own bed. Reason why I didn't have one at the time was that the main switch was reachable from the bed.
But I'm a bitch apparently...

Outfits. They take the photos and mock them. Probably because they can't dress as nicely

I think it's posts like this that make people on other forums take the piss! I very much doubt that anyone on Tattle would be in the slightest bit jealous of any of the bizarre threads in Style and Beauty - particularly some of the clothing recommendations 😂😂😂

Seems people take the piss here too.

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.

That's actually really sad 😂
Just shows some never really leave the school playground behind 😁

Jealous of what exactly? The ability to join a forum and make posts?

I'd be very surprised if MNHQ don't read that sub Grin

They don't even read Mumsnet

I like that sub reddit.
Often saves me time.
They can spot creative writing and pervs a mile off.
I'm sure mods on here would be quicker referring to it.
It also began off the back of the debacle that was a crowdfunding shitshow.
A dumpster fire of a cancer thread written by someone perving on posters in his time of grief.
