If you post your inner thoughts on social media (MN), don’t be surprised if they end up on other social media (FB). MN is free to use but has a significant number of staff, and their business model is based on driving as much traffic to the site as possible. If you don’t like the completely free service, that no one asked you to use, deregister.

I get that, but to a degree MN has always been my safe space

Yeah I hate it and it has put me off posting certain things as I'd be too scared people would guess it was me.

same here, I posted before Christmas and stupidly thought it was contained to our little bubble.

A friends comment on our private WhatsApp indicated otherwise and I found my post on FB

Its not quite the same now tbh

I agree

We all know (or we should) that there's nothing "private and safe" or such a thing as a little bubble with a public forum, it doesn't mean we have to like seeing posts appearing on FB.

There was one today relating to a child with SEN - the poster didn't specify that in their post as it was posted on the SEN board, but that wasn't at all clear on FB and it attracted lots of snarky comments which was quite upsetting to read. I thought it was out of order to use a post from that area without context.

Yes it's shit. It's in the T&Cs but it's still poor.

Mine was on insta and it didn't bother me at all as it's part of the terms and conditions. If nothing else fame at last!!!

I'm pretty sure it's in the T&Cs

But generally consider that anything you share online can and will be shared elsewhere
