Why so much hate on MN?

Recognise anyone who fits the description?

Yes I am sure it is.😀

Funny peculiar?

Funny you are responding to my post!
😄

Well report those threads and posts as orhestrating pile-ons probably wouldn't go down too well with mnhq.

They seem to be OK with this thread though, so that is good.

To pp - I think mentioning that bots and trolls exist on SM is fine, because they do. Even here on MN. In what sort of numbers is the debatable part

I thought it had got a little better to be honest. I get attacked less than I used to. And no its not difference of opinion. Or straight talking. It still happens but not as much as it used to. Obviously I can only talk from my own experience.

What i do think shouldn't be allowed is if someone has changed names if someone recognises them from style of posting little bits they have satd. Another poster should not be allowed to post on the thread saying are you that poster with thr yellow car, are you the poster. Are you the poster who's child draw on the walls in a hotel. For example they have name changed for s reason.

There a lot's of lovely kind people on here. Im sure they outweigh the bad. The bad side sticks out more for people who have been at the resiving
End because its hurtful.

What i also think people should try and understand that when there's such nastiness. Again I mean nastiness not difference of opinion. The person on the receiving end takes that away with them it doesn't vanish because they log out off the thread moved. For me it had a big impact on my mental heath. I won't be the only one.

Mnhq has answered this a few times, and generally delete all the bot accusations.

But trolls and bots do exist - you must appreciate that? And I personally find it all a bit disturbing.

I'm sure in Cuba those trolls and bots will be spouting communist stuff. In the UK (and the US) the big money is behind the right wing parties and political perspectives for obvious reasons. Candidly, the Greens or Labour can't afford to hire a bunch of trolls or pay someone to write algorithms to boost their content.

But some political parties, particularly Reform, can. So statistically bot content is more likely to be taking that angle.

@Oncetwicethreetimesmore , I’m happy to discuss this in a respectful manner but it’s quite difficult when you comment in such an inane manner. Would you care to explain what you mean by that?

On what threads?

Because there are some threads out there where some posters do nothing but breathlessly run in with gossip about who wrote what and on what other thread, whipping up hate and pile ups?

The level of hate on MN and posters with an obvious agenda makes genuine debate increasingly pointless.
Driving away the very people those with an agenda want to reach, leaves those loudest voices convincing no one except those that already hold the same views.
That is not debate; it is an echo chamber, of posters acting with their fingers in their ears even when misinformation is challenged.

Totally pointless.

And MN is a poorer place (and poorer business) for every informed poster who decides it is no longer worth contributing.

They say what they think. That’s not rudeness, it’s assertiveness.

Yes, it's always helpful when they confirm that it's not a Labour/ pro asylum seeking board.

Good for you bab.

It helps when jokes are funny.

Usually these threads start and then mnhq say you’ll see different views because it’s a public forum not limited to one party after all.

That’s your interpretation. Site stuff is by definition about other threads.

Perhaps to you it is. I have no idea which thread that might be tbh.

As a broad observation on the site in general, I think the OP is valid

I don't know why you think what I have said here is aimed at a particular thread. It's not. It's something I have seen on many, many threads. Hence me posting to discuss the fact that this is happening on MN in general. Please do report this thread if you are concerned, that's what the function is there for.

I didn't realise this section wasn't moderated. Yes, fancy.

It’s a vague having a go on another thread. And not even correct.

No because Site stuff is to discuss the site. Imagine that.

I don't want to pick it up. I want to post on this thread, pointing out things that are happening. Why does that worry you? This is a phenomenon on Mumsnet. Mumsnet is a discussion forum. We are discussing this phenomenon. You don't have to post here if you are unhappy about it.

Moi?

Can't you take a joke 🤣
