Just incase you like your Mumsnet calm and relaxing….

Can recommend you go to the little person icon on the top right. Hit ‘settings’, ‘more settings’ and then right to the bottom of the page where you click onto ‘manage hidden threads and topics’. There you can deselect all the topic boards that piss you off and make your blood pressure sky high.

It’s been revitalising and suddenly all the threads you never get to see pop up to the top in Active because all the fighty hot button threads disappear.

Bliss. enjoy.

What will you hide?

I’ve hidden loads, but for some people it might be stuff that’s triggering or emotive on some way. I just can’t be dealing with all the fighting and arguing. I want peace.

Yes, I hid AIBU and Relationships (amongst many others that were just irrelevant) years ago and it vastly improved my MN experience.

entire chat rooms or just the thread?

Yeah, there are topics that I've hidden and it has vastly improved my blood pressure while on MN. Not much point in getting into which ones though.

Whole topics/sections using the method above. It’s wonderful 🙏🏻

This is even more exciting than the AMA with the person who was an expert in the laundry detergent industry (and I'm not even being sarcastic!)
It looks much nicer....but I'm worried I might miss some of the scraps over baby names, bridesmaids and dogs and will add them back in after a week.😂

I want to hide certain posters tho (as I’m sure some would love to hide me!)

I don’t want to miss the discussions, but my god alive there’s some angry people on here now. Take me back to 2012 please.

Same :-)

The joy is you can change your mind! It’s not like a flounce. You can enjoy some calmness and then add sections back in if you miss them.

I did ask for that months ago and they were going to ‘look into it’ 🤦🏻‍♀️

Can you only do it on desktop (not app) ?

I’m not sure about the app. I’m accessing it on the mobile friendly site through my phone.

I'm definitely with you on the fighting. I'd add passive aggressive comments and general nastiness. I hate it when threads get like that. I often see them descend there in the evenings, and assume that people have been drinking!
