What threads do you always hide?

If any!

If I scroll through and see anyone ask about accountancy help, HMRC advice, tax return, accounts etc I just hide them. I can't stand seeing 90% of the "advice" on those threads being absolute bollocks.

I used to hide the divorce ones when I was going through mine, I didn't want extra headspace going into it.

I’m with you. I had to reply on one the other day but the amount of crap and often completely incorrect advice on tax/ accounts matters is astounding. It’s so hard when you answer with correct reasoned points and someone who clearly doesn’t know what they are talking about tries picking it apart 😬😬😬

Long titles, I avoid Megan threads they are spiteful, benefit bashers show up a nasty side of posters as well as the disabled bashers.
One of the biggest arseholes I have ever seen posting has been all over this thread being an uninformed arsehole... I will not usually post on threads they are on but here I am.

FarmGirl78 · 14/04/2025 20:32

Gender/sex/trans bashing ones. I'm a straight female. The hatred and narrow mindedness is stunning. I feel sick that people can be so pre-judging and bigoted.

mondaytosunday · 14/04/2025 20:22

Nub theory, baby name suggestions are top of the list

granhands1 · 14/04/2025 20:17

Christmas, weightloss injections and the royal family

TooBigForMyBoots · 14/04/2025 20:09

Me too @menopausalfart. I do it to emphasise that women's rights are what feminism is about. I get roundly scolded for it by the Trumpettes and Right Whingers.🙈😂

ioioitdj · 14/04/2025 19:37

I don’t really hide any, but yeah the royal family ones are absolutely bonkers, whether it’s love or hate, I find it so weird people have that amount of headspace for them. Psychologists should study the ones about Meghan.

Port1aCastis · 14/04/2025 19:35

The let's all bitch about Meghan threads

Tandora · 14/04/2025 19:29

This is wise.

menopausalfart · 14/04/2025 19:28

I dip my toe in gender discussions sometimes. I don't know why I bother as I know whatever I say will make no difference to those filled with misplaced hate. I don't tend to read the replies though. Like I said, I hide certain topics but sometimes they bleed through into other threads.

The Meghan threads. The hate is unhinged.

I agree. I'll never understand how you can hate someone who has had zero impact on your life like that, maniac dictator or crooked politicians aside.

Odd. I don’t get that option at all. Annoying!

Oooh I found it. Time to hide the Trans threads!

Weight loss jabs to me seem to be the ones that do actually stay in the right topic, I wonder if MN are hot on moving them

I don't have them hidden but have noticed that they always seem to be where they belong

You mean like these ones in AIBU?

To want to get weight loss injections on the NHS? | Mumsnet

to think more negative effects will come out from Ozempic use? | Mumsnet

To be jealous of everyone getting slim in weight loss jabs while I get fatter ! | Mumsnet

EarlofShrewsbury · 14/04/2025 09:45

That long running support thread for spouses of neurodiverse people.

I'm neurodiverse and I find the whole thing a bit ableist and offensive.

Granted, I'm not the target audience.

Line eyes and guess the sex.

Also why are all the Telly Addicts threads IN FULL CAPS ?

Because Blondes makes most of them and that's her style.

SnowFrogJelly · 14/04/2025 01:22

Can’t all you feminists just go back to your threads and let us moan in peace

SnowFrogJelly · 14/04/2025 01:20

LoreOfBabylon · 13/04/2025 20:53

It seems most people agree which threads are filled with the worst kind of MN users.

Feminism royals and private schools!

SnowFrogJelly · 14/04/2025 01:16

JHound · 14/04/2025 00:50

Ok I don’t think it’s an option on the mobile version.

SnowFrogJelly · 14/04/2025 01:15

Anything asking for advice on posh private schools 🙄

cadburyegg · 14/04/2025 00:58

The “squeezed middle” threads where people earning 6 figures don’t have enough to get by. As a single parent earning 34k, I just can’t relate to this struggle at all.

Weight loss of any kind
i have a VERY disordered past relationship and it was joining one of the long running threads on here that triggered my last relapse.
I am drawn to it like a moth to a flame and still subconsciously seek it out when they are in Chat / AIBU
