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

To be fair most of us on here are twats, snobs, racist, stupid, thick as mince or just plain arseholes.

If anyone dares say anything mean on here it's either handbags at dawn or the OP demands the thread removed.

Also if there is a Reddit about cunts who pop up after 800 posts to say the same thing as poster number 3, swishing in like the Knowledge Queen armed with the correct answer to save the OP from 798 wrong answers then send me the link as that is a place I want to be.

Where do you fall in?

I don’t care!

Yep, it’s that. Ok, I won’t include the name then.

BeachBeerBbq · 04/04/2024 20:26

You again? Did they kick you out? 😂

It's a conspiracy 👀

I included the name of the sub (because it turns out there is more than one). I wonder if that is what did it. I’ll test it out.

Why is this post an AIBU? CBA voting to be fair, it's old news, just being dragged up again. I'm sure if you'd searched the threads, you'd have found a load already covering this subject. Let the Redditors get on with it, I just don't see the point of this post!

Axx · 04/04/2024 20:24

I like the mn threads on tattle too. I got a mention once under a different name. Apparently I'm a twat Grin

Saschka · 04/04/2024 20:22

Oh how strange, I replied to somebody saying the sub is 50/50 trollhunting and general complaints, and my reply was auto-deleted! No swearing whatsoever, very inoffensive answer. I wonder what has triggered that 🤔

Oh they've seen it. It's quite fun following along to both

Hello over there! I've not got the hang of reddit yet so won't be able to see if you reply.

Lentilweaver · 04/04/2024 20:22

Oh is there? I already spend way too much time on here. I daren't go look on Reddit or I will get sucked in.

From a glance yes, it is?

Actually I will take that back, there are apparently multiple MN-dissing subs and there is indeed one calls MNTrolls which does actually have a high proportion of troll hunting.

But then their current top thread is “values of MN which make you think 'why bother with this place’?”, and the second one is slagging off posters responding to a thread with over-literal answers. So I’d say maybe 50/50 split with troll hunting and general slagging off.

I would think so.

ImCamembertTheBigCheese · 04/04/2024 20:15

😂So you were one of the ones named in the recent thread on there about posters redditers couldn't get on with

OhmygodDont · 04/04/2024 20:10

Aye everywhere mocks Mumsnet and Mumsnet takes the piss out of everywhere else. There’s a forum kinda named like this one for those with a soft soul 😂

NecessaryNC24 · 04/04/2024 20:10

My gay, autistic 25 year old colleague knows all about MN - I asked him why, because he READS it for advice but still takes the piss out of me .

@Saschka I'll bow to your superior knowledge.

So true, I don't like you

Yep but that isn’t what 99% of the posts are about, is it?

From a glance yes, it is?

GoingJacobsandRitz · 04/04/2024 20:07

In fairness to redditors (and tattlers) they mainly do the forbidden troll hunting and do all the questioning many mumsnetters want to do on here but can't because of the site rules. I like to think of the sites coexisting rather than competing. But there again I only use forums for entertainment purposes and like to touch grass occasionally.
