@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.

It's goodbye in Irish, with connotations of wishing someone safety. As you could have found out with a quick Google...

Oh is it. That's nice.

I just assumed an insult and didn’t bother to know more.

Which says more about you than about the poster who just said goodbye. I recognised it as Irish and I'm Dutch!

Hope it's not something hateful.

I’m not sure but sounds a bit much.

I will monitor the situation.

Oh come on. An awful lot of people wouldn’t recognise that as Irish. I only know it from Derry Girls and I’m of Irish descent.

Are you calling another nation's language "nonsense"?

🚨 Reverse ferret 🚨

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

I didn’t look it up in case it was an attack. If it’s a pleasant and happy term then great.

No idea. Maybe some BlueSky nonsense.

No idea what you mean there. Sure it’s positive as ever ;

You’re not going to change the moderation.

JaneJeffer · 22/09/2026 21:06

Yes that’s why I asked 🤷

You talked about people believing mods are infallible. I addressed that.

Saying it’s not compulsory is not compulsory

Does it need further explanation?

Well not everyone.

You’re annoyed with it but still here. If people have left for BlueSky or X or whatever, great. It’s not compulsory.

JaneJeffer · 22/09/2026 21:04

LuckyHazelFox · 22/09/2026 21:03

What's aimed at you? An observation about posters having a choice to continue posting or not?
