I’ve been following a very amusing and extremely informative thread on the feminism board. It was unfortunately deleted.

I wonder if some people report the threads they start and then sock puppet on, if they don’t go their way? Any ideas?
I do hope it is still available on the internet somewhere because it should go in classics.

What they don't realise- and why they call us fascists / nazis and every other horrible description:

You don't mess with mums.

Well I was the OP and I'm not a sock puppet 😁. And MN are not looking into me . Just to clear that up. Also I am gender critical. To also clear that up.

I'm sad. Did we ever find out how to do giant writing?

A sock puppet is an account used by another poster to either support or argue with themselves. They post on one thread using both accounts, pretending to be two different people.

I was enjoying a wee rammy.

Looking forward to the next conspiracy theory, tbh.

Smurhee · 18/12/2022 18:50

I'm not exactly sure what a sock puppet is and I hope it's not me. I've name changed to ask a specific question which I haven't got round to yet, but I'm a regular.

It cracks me up that numerous trans extremists spend so much time on here. They don't seem to have noticed that the press is now 'full on terf'. They're reporting on the scandals, the dodgy dealing, the bullying and silencing while holding forth about the government's incompetence in dealing with this and the useful idiots in labour trying to sabotage the women's vote with their inane "don't mention cervixes anyone - especially not you Lammy".

Yet here they are on FWR, scolding, smearing and whining at women. Quite the performance 😂😂

I think MN winds them up because they're allowed to post and yet they never manage to dominate. So much harder when you can't rely on threats and physical intimidation.

WarningToTheCurious · 18/12/2022 17:32

Ah well, TRAs are like buses. There’ll be another couple of similar threads along soon.

Ah, hate it when I miss a funny one. You guys are so sharp.

If the thread starts “I’m as GC as they come but…” it’s a dead giveaway.

Parmavi0lets · 18/12/2022 17:15

I think with sock puppets they usually delete the posts - presumably trickier if the OP is one of them 😂

The stuff about Pret was hilarious, and, i think, not entirely far fetchedXmas Confused

LGB Alliance does bring out a certain type of poster, some of those are previously banned…. But it is like catnip

Signalbox · 18/12/2022 17:01

I was enjoying that thread too.
So ridiculously fake.

Pixiedust1234 · 18/12/2022 17:00

sighs

This means I will never know why that poster was so horrified about the thread info being "denied" at the weekend. Perhaps we can start it again tomorrow, on a weekday Grin

Why would it have been taken down?

Started for screenshots. Signposted on twitter almost immediately. Everyone but the sock puppets mercilessly took the piss. TRA's would not want to direct anyone to a thread where they are being mocked and not taken seriously. They reported their own thread to have it deleted.

Nailed it.

Itisbetter · 18/12/2022 16:36

I think they could delete each sock puppet with a “posting under two names on the same thread” explanation. The thread MAY no longer make sense but it would at least demonstrate what is going on.

DameMaud · 18/12/2022 16:34

That is interesting! Don't know if it my imagination but does seem to be alot of new names on here in the last few days

Can we ask HQ to reinstate a thread

No idea. If it's sock puppets then I see the MNHQ problem. Presumably they couldn't just allow that, in order to show the house of cards. Otherwise they'd have to permit other sock puppets in the future?

ArabellaScott · 18/12/2022 16:33

Not sure what posts broke guidelines, tbh. Unless it was the ones about sandwiches with green bits in them.

Yes, you can.

IcakethereforeIam · 18/12/2022 16:32

Don't know why so big.
