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.

And yet the post saying that Jewish people have this air of outraged entitlement is still up after multiple reports.

So blatant antisemitism.

Agreed.

And it seems that you also agree with the OP and other that MNHQ is not doing enough to tackle hate and racism on the site.

Doesn't surprise me. I have no end of posters zooming in on my posts and making pointed remarks such as they're surprised I'm still here. They know they can't post they don't understand why I've not been banned. I see them for what they are.

Why would you be banned? I don’t understand.

It's not doing enough to tackle a few things, as I've discovered of late. Nothing I can do about it though.

Me neither.

Maybe stop your subscription as a protest? You can still use the free version of MN.

Not sure who would want you banned or how they'd get you banned if you post within TG.

Bikenutz · 25/09/2026 11:29

I’m in agreement with the OP. Robust discussion is fine but the constant new threads about small boat crossings are tiresome and add nothing constructive to the debate.

Twiglets1 · 25/09/2026 11:50

LuckyHazelFox · 25/09/2026 07:43

The mods deleted the latest Jewish support thread then.

Yes - against guidelines apparently 🤦‍♀️

Awful. That’s obviously antisemitic.

The I don't see Antisemitism in real life comment is still there the last time I looked.

I’ve almost stopped posting/browsing at all, down from being a multi post per day user.
I found the recent nastiness overwhelming so have stepped back for the sake of my mental health.
I’ll occasionally pop on nowadays but the place I once knew & loved has gone.

That's me with Twitter now. Never post, rarely read.

It's easier to avoid on here but there's still a lot of bullying imo

Plus the moderation is reactive rather than proactive but that's not the mods fault. They can only deal with what's reported. and there are some very prolific reporters! Usually the worst bullies unfortunately.

Maybe they’ve just led a very sheltered life.

I could say I’ve never noticed racism in real life.

People would find it unbelievable but still.

In the past week alone I've seen

In the past week alone I've seen:
Jewish people have an air of outraged entitlement
Jewish people are recreating the Holocaust
Israel makes me dislike Jewish people
Jewish people are doing themselves no favours
October 7th was resistance
Hamas are freedom fighters
There were no rapes on October 7th
Zionists are all terrorists who should be stranded on Epstein island
The Jews have short memories and lack empathy and compassion
People who don't criticise Israel enough are lying about being Jewish
Netenyahu is the leader of all Jewish people

Some of these posts have been deleted, some haven't.

I was going to post this on the thread about antisemitism on mumsnet but predictably it was derailed into an argument about Gaza and then deleted.

What do you mean with omnicause?

The left wing ideology lumped in one. Occasionally they will drift away but their causes are normally commonly shared, in the name of progression. They could be classed as hard left as the right are considered far right.

So all left wing people share the same views about everything? You obviously don't know many in real life.

That makes no sense, everyone with left wing views think in one particular way?

Why do you have a problem with that? You have no problem lumping the right into one box. I said there are caveats to the omnicause and conundrums are often presented, particularly with trans rights issues, sometimes the stance on the ME conflict.

Would you like to demonstrate where I have lumped the right into one box? There are plenty of decent right-wing people out there.

So basically there is no left wing omnicause. If there was there would be no need for your "caveats".

I must have imagined the times when we have disagreed on the Starmer/Burnham threads. And the political arguments I have with my left wing DH.

The omnicause is as real as Antifa, which somebody argued doesn't exist. Guess JKR didn't get the memo.

DuncinToffee · 25/09/2026 14:09

Antifa is also one mindset/organisation?

All anti fascist think the same on every issue?

I wasn't aware we are the Borg either.
