For the sake of accuracy - rather than malicious hearsay! - the sub on reddit was set up for the purposes of troll hunting. Something not allowed on MN.

As it's described on the sub:

A place to say what you can't on Mumsnet. Trollhunters are welcome. Trolls are not. We discuss trolls but don't support trolling.

^^

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

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 04/04/2024 20:06

Ah I can live with it, I think it's been around for years.

My DD and DH constantly take the piss out of my MN addiction use. If I tell them something, they always say, don't tell me, you read it on Mumsnet. I roll my eyes a lot.

It’s the internet. There’s a subreddit for every thing you can possibly think of. There’s probably a sub subreddit taking the piss out of the MN subreddit.

There is! Or was, anyway.

Threads from various forums including mumsnet and Reddit etc get discussed on different forums, because people post a lot of shite or funny things online. It’s the internet stuff gets shared everywhere, mocked, laughed at, read, don’t post anything online you’re not happy with the whole of the internet potentially seeing.

I mean, MN posts end up trending on Daily Mail and being discussed on radio stations around the world. Its not surprising that people find some of the threads funny!

I like it, it's GoggleBox for MN.

I watched a YouTube video once of a bloke who deliberately trolled Mumsnet with a couple of threads. People were sending him PMs, it was weird.

I'd love to know why people outside find this place so fascinating.

There's a place called tattle where they take the mick too. Often of the style and beauty bit, I can only imagine its jealousy

Useful reminder that this isn’t a private group of friends. Reddit piss takers are the least of your worries.

RockyRogue1001 · 04/04/2024 20:02

Didn't I read this thread the other day?

I dunno, HQ don't seem to stay late at The Towers necking gin anymore.
I reckon we can discuss all sorts without getting in to trouble.

I love the idea of being a MN bod of olden days <becomes misty eyed> Sitting around a deserted office at 9pm on a Friday night drinking warm gin, headphones on, munching on leftover buffet items from a meeting earlier in the day. Every now and again shouting over to the other poor sod who'd drawn the short straw of late night modding "Sandra, can you deal with this returning poo troll, love, I need a wazz"

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

Link?

To be fair, a lot that is posted on MN is worthy of mockery.

As it is anywhere

So so many people have a problem with women having an opinion, debating intelligently and god forbid being MOTHERS (mostly).

As IRL , you have to realise they just don't matter. And they're making tits of themselves quite frankly.

LordSnot · 04/04/2024 19:59

I used to love Mumsnet Madness on Twitter. There's a lot of shite posted here so of course lots of places laugh at it.

Pagwatch · 04/04/2024 19:59

I’ve not been on here for years but someone sent me a link to a Reddit talking about me
its just nonsense

ilovesooty · 04/04/2024 19:56

So?

KezzaMucklowe · 04/04/2024 19:56

gamerchick · 04/04/2024 19:52

And a load of other places. I can't bring myself to care. It's a bit sad in a stalkery way, people seem to have a lot of time on their hands.
