Remove Fife Threads from Trending?

The danger here is you might actually learn something useful about how other people think.

How shocking.

Well this thread is about no 15 and Fife is no 2🤣

I don't think you've understood the concept of having a trending section.

I also feel strongly that threads about outfits for wedding guests should be hidden, as I personally haven't been invited to any weddings; not to mention those from worried people asking why their house isn't selling, when I personally am not looking to buy or sell property - and I naturally assume that MN exists purely for me, with everybody else there only posting to delight and validate ME.

This reminds me of the recent thread where the OP complained about people still 'going on' about the Post Office scandal. So, so many completely innocent and hardworking people and families have seen their lives destroyed (and actually lost in a number of cases) because of the ongoing actions of some truly vile* people and companies - but OP (who has the privilege of never having been a victim of the scandal) is getting a bit bored of it all now, and finds ignoring and scrolling past any threads that don't interest them a little tiresome; so can we please just ban anybody from mentioning them again, fankyoooo.

*allegedly, I'd better say, though those involved who may object to these allegations may wish to refer to the case of Arkell vs Pressdram.

The threads aren't just talking about a situation, they are talking about a tribunal that is happening as we speak (well not today obviously) this is so current and clearly there will be threads about it!

Yep
Twitter staff decided that social engineering would be a great idea and cha-ching cha-ching poof 🤷‍♀️ they engineered themselves out of cushie jobs by someone who agreed.

Texas will be a change to Cali

Blimey OP, this didn't go to plan did it?

This is doing great things for the Scottish press, with at least one now charging a subscription so getting extra money.

It was climbing up the "charts" earlier this morning.
Bu was pipped by the babysitter and the beach thread🙃

If you are not interested... don't click on the threads.

It does seem arrogant to want to hide things YOU are not interested in from everyone else .

I think you do have to accept that many people on Mumsnet are going to be interested in the matter. It is about women's rights (naturally of interest to us) and about shining a light on the murky goings-on in a public institution (so one we all pay for).

As a woman and an NHS employee this is the most inportant topic on mums net in years and everyone IRL is also gripped / shocked / throwing sunlight on this issue at long last

I took a break and when I came back the latest thread was not in trending. When a new thread starts the old one soon drops off too so there was no thread about it in trending. I had to go back to the last thread which I was on to find it.

So you are wrong, it's not always there - but as it's so important maybe mumsnet should sticky the latest one. 😁

Re OP.

Is that you, Isla Bumba? Kate Searle? Or you, Upton? One of the other witnesses or NHS Fife employees currently shitting bricks at having all NHS Fife's lies and dirty laundry exposed for public gaze, maybe?

Do you really, OP, think this is less interesting than people moaning about their in-laws? These threads are being followed globally: it's bringing a lot of traffic to MN.

If you have no interest, scroll on by.

MNHQ would be nuts to want to quash traffic on the site by hiding it's most trending threads.

If a thread is trending it's trending.

Get over it.

well…the app has a ‘For you’ tab but mine seems to consist mainly of threads I wouldn’t ever want to open.

’curated feeds’ are such a bad idea.

Is Mumsnet one of the few places left where your feed is not curated/personalised for you?

Not in trending yet. But 40 something in active conversations 😀

I am following the case but not massively following the case's commentary on MN (I dip in and out occasionally but it is quite long-running) but I don't understand why you'd want to police what other people see and respond to on a site with millions of users. Yes sometimes there's a thread on trending or active that you don't want to see, and sometimes it snowballs into several threads. You just tune that one out and click on a different one.
People obviously want to talk about this a lot. Just like when there were 3 or 4 threads in trending a couple of years ago about a poster who had a parking issue in the National Forest (the carvery threads). Or when a poster had 2 or 3 threads in trending from being stuck on holiday with a girl she didn't like. Or last weekend we had 2 Live Aid at 40 threads trending for a while and a bunch of offshoot conversations on other threads.
Sometimes things just go big. I don't see why this one is any different.

"I want my social media sanitised of anything that is actually important in the real world, wah wah"

Meh. Go back to Facebook then.

😂😂😂

Mumsnet already split the feminism section because some posters couldn't bear to see that other people were having discussions they didn't like or weren't interested.

Now one discussions has generated so much interest that it's trending and you want Mumsnet to hide it?

You have deiced it's too much effort for you to hide them manually, so you want to make it so that no one who isn't already following the threads will be aware of them?

And to be clear, this isn't a "is this dress blue or silver" or "what did people think about the end of RATW". These are threads about a woman's mistreatment by the NHS, and her union, her punishment for requesting privacy from men when changing, and to not have a man changing near her, and how the entire shitshow came to be. This is an incredibly significant case. That's reflected in the voljme of activity. And you want no one who doesn't already search out threads on it to see them. Because you cba to use the hide function.

No OP, that's far from an OK suggestion.

You want MN to censor trending threads?

🤣
