Why so much hate on MN?

@MNHQ
Why so much hate on MN?
Posters hiding behind complaints about the government, presenting themselves as reasonable actors, to push hate about asylum seekers, people with disabilities, benefit claimants..Mostly the same names all day everyday.
I am told to report - MN just not interested.
I am told to hide the thread..
Why isn't moderation better?
I know this will always exist and exists on other platforms but MN makes no effort to even try to anything about it.
You can't really sell MN as a caring, supportive site with all this stuff offered on a daily basis in active.

How do you know people have exchanged numbers?

As long as one is extremely choosy about who one shares one's number with it, it is safe enough I would think. There used to be regular MN meet ups back in the day, although that was before my time. I think there used to be a Secret Santa too.

Eta: You pay for MN? Is there much advantage to the paid version?

Really? I've got friends for all that, but thanks for sharing.

^Quite. Schlossader is on here a lot herself, too, as is EasternStandard. Pot and kettle spring to mind.

And you reading my posts.

I don’t mind people posting, the digs at @LuckyHazelFoxfor posting are the usual.

I’m for a broad range of views rather than those who make digs as you are here.

Oh well, nothing wrong with making the most of a service I pay for. I'm not stupid enough though to exchange phone numbers with people on here. I mean, that really is taking a forum full of strangers seriously.

Thank you.

BTW, without being a creep - I am very much pro women.

Haha glad you are. We've got enough of the Antifa types out there.

I didn't realise you were male. Good on you. Nice to get a good representation of demographics.

Yes, and I reflect on myself. I will try to be better, and focus on the issues and be data/headline-led, rather than engage in mud-slinging.

If my presence offends you, you know the answer to that. I'm going nowhere.

Schlossadler · 23/09/2026 08:12

Perhaps take a break, and think about it.

Labelling another language "nonsense" is a bit narrow minded, but a sign of MH issues? No. Don't be soft.

I think calling posters narrow minded is no help. But good idea.

And implying people who don’t agree with you have mental health issues is helpful?

Good thing I didn't call any posters that then. Now I really am off.

You don't think Schlossadler's post was ridiculous? Fair enough.

Anyway, it is too early to be arguing on MN and probably not good for one's MH. I am off out for a walk and a ☕️

Ah yes. Disagreeing with you and correctly identifying languages means mental illness. You couldn't make it up.

I’m not checking stuff on here. If it’s an insult it’ll just annoy and I don’t have the appetite for that.

Great if it’s not.

Fair enough, but best not to call their language "nonsense" without checking.

Your posts maybe 🤷‍♀️ if people want to post in other languages they can, it won’t always be translated by the reader.
