So I’ve just discovered Tattle…

My friend told me about it recently so I thought I’d have a look. So I do have some views on ‘influencers’ showing off their DC before they’re old enough to consent, but blimey, this goes above any beyond that. There is a woman on Istagram called ‘Knee Deep in Life’ I’ve followed her for years and I can see that’s she’s not everyone’s cup of tea but she’s pretty inoffensive but the way she’s been talked about of Tattle is horrible, I don’t know how anyone could describe as anything else other than bullying.

i stopped reading after this and I’m very willing to stand corrected if this was a one off and every thing else is well put together and thought through but suspect that’s not the case. I know MN is in no way perfect but just found it really nasty.

I looked at it briefly. It was like the ravings of a 12 year old with a strange fixation on "bums" and excrement. The spite was notable and they seemed fixated. I just don't care what people post normally and just watch other stuff so I won't be back to that site. It is rather worrying though that these people "live among us".

I've read through this whole thread and just HAD to come back to this comment. I've not seen anything consistent about bums and poo on Tattle...other then when referencing MN. I have also NEVER seen anyone's actual bumhole or flaps on Tattle but I've seen several technicolour horrors on this poo-obsessed forum! 😂

The issue for me is that just because you don't like someone doesn't mean it's suddenly fine to criticize them in a way that's just vile and nasty or misogynist. That's what I see happening a lot. They put themselves out there so it's okay for me to make really nasty comments about their personal appearance. the posters who make this kind of comment are worse human beings than the influencers they are criticizing. Which is fine but if you call them out for it, their feelings are hurt and a lot of them claim that them calling another woman a "fat whore" or making up really mean nicknames is 100% "justified". Just own that you're being an asshole.

Edited

Nah, you act like an arsehole on social media you are gonna get called out for it. If you are whinging about being called fat when there are screenshots of you doing the same, you are fair game.

I think this thread is being trolled by people who have never been on Tattle.

Some of their claims, I've never witnessed.

Tattle is disgusting. I say that as someone who has threads about them. Everything from my family to my body. People say ‘tattle holds influencers accountable’ but what exactly about body shaming me is holding me accountable?

I’ve been sent death threats. I’ve had people hand deliver stuff to my home despite never sharing my address or anything closer than my county. I’ve had to close a business because Tattlers would turn up to report back. I’ve had photos taken of my family and myself whilst out and about and posted.

I’ve been suicidal from it. That site needs to be banned and anyone who feels the need to bring others down needs to take a good hard look at themselves.

Not everyone will like you.

And if you are who I think you are, you’ve told a lot of lies.

You could always just go and get a job you like somewhere and step away from the internet. It really is that easy.

Same here.

Tattle (at least on the threads I visited) was brutal but fair.

That you Liz?

It's awful when people discussing you having affairs with other women's husbands, isn't it. So much better in the old days when you could get away with it.

Yeah yeah yeah, we think we’ve got the memo re that now thanks.

Do you put the Porta Potty Dubai influencers into the same category of well I suppose it’s a job even though it’s sex industry work (which MN seems to love for their DD’s and DGD’s to go into, as long as they’re making a living/paying their way through uni?

Mixed feelings, as I don't support the posts that are just picking on people's appearance, but I do think influencers should be hold acountable when it comes to compromising their childrens privacy, dishonest advertizing or advertizing dubious producting etc. And I do think we should be allowed to discuss the emptiness of just posing for a living.

whynotwhatknot · 07/04/2024 14:00

anyone got a code i met an instragammer who was awful theres a thread about her

HelloMiss · 07/04/2024 14:00

But it’s not, waaaahhhh I wanna spend all day sitting in my jammies posting pics of my beautifully decorated home, plus kids in various posed outfits/scenarios. I’m not harming my kids but letting them be seen by pervs on the dark web am I?! Shock

HelloMiss · 07/04/2024 14:01

Why do people ask for codes?

Can't you read the threads without one?

You can read a thread without one but need a code to post and Tattle admin are rather unfairly I feel (I’ve got an account) not letting new posters join. Maybe I should sell my account?! Bids here starting at…£££ 🤣🤣🤣

You need a code to register to be able to contribute to the threads.

HelloMiss · 07/04/2024 14:03

I've got an account and had it years but don't post that much

You can read them but not post unless someone refers you.

But they let people sign up themselves sporadically. It's a much smaller site than MN and I was told it was due to number control but don't know 🤷‍♀️

HelloMiss · 07/04/2024 14:04

I've just looked and I'm classed as an 'active member'

Maybe read it 3,4 times a month and post 1 or twice a month if that!

But Tattle as I recall not sure how, wouldn’t let it drop which is the main difference between them and the other gossip/talk sites which undoubtedly did have influence. Tattlers and quite rightly so thought it was abhorrent he was seen to be getting away with grooming a teenage boy and then dropping him like a stone. And then purporting to be squeaky clean but coming out on live tv and doing sad face and getting tea [cuppa] and sympathy from the This Morning lot and the viewers.
