Facebook groups you’ve been rejected or ejected from

[Bornnotbourne]

I was complaining to my neighbour that I had been denied access to a facebook group (fyi the bar for men is so low it’s a tavern in hades), she said she was once rejected for joining a bowl club facebook group….. the worst part is that she set up the bowls club in question and is currently their treasurer!! Can anyone beat that?

So was I.
And for pointing out that humans can't change sex.

I’ve just had surgery and can’t sleep and this made me laugh - thank you 😂😂😂

What pisses me off the most is that adhd presents differently in females than males. So a transgender woman isn't going present the same as a biological woman.

I'm fascinated that this wild variety of groups even exist!

I've not been booted out of any yet, but I shall try harder.

Not in yet!@Bornnotbourne

not been kicked out of a group, but left a couple. I'm a therapist and left a counselling group page because the moderator had two trans offspring and if you questioned anything re safeguarding and trans, or the conflict between trans and women's rights, she'd delete and stop comments and say that people were being transphobic. The
mildest, gentlest questions were seen as transphobic. I didn't think it was a safe or healthy page to be on and the moderator couldn't possibly be impartial on the subject, so I left. It alarmed me how many counsellors were happy to just blindly affirm young people without any exploration of underlying issues, which goes against every therapeutic ethical framework there is.

I was SHOUTED at and immediately booted off a driving FB group called Sea-to-Sky for pointing out that driving over the speed limit was not only intimidating but also illegal and extremely dangerous.

Anyway fuck those wildlife gardening motherfuckers!!!

I've been thrown out of lesbian groups for saying that I wouldn't countenance a relationship with a transidentified male. No woman on these groups would, half of us are prepared to be honest about it, the other half feel the same but dare not say it. The honest half gets thrown out. Very common story.

My gf was thrown out of a fountain pen group for saying she didn't support Pride anymore. The group had thousands of members and was a hugely successful and warm nerdy place to be. It was taken over by transactivists and now has about 10 people left. They spend their time talking amongst themselves about which pink and blue inks are the best for colouring in trans flags.

I was threatened with expulsion from the village FB page for posting a negative review of the new curry house.

Apparently, only nice things can be said about our village.

I’d relish the change to argue against you all day long.

TweeBee, TheGirlInTheGreenDress, Livinginaclock and me.

That's a disproportionately large number to get booted out of one FB group on a 5 page thread on MN who have actually posted about it too - what a weird business model.

I'm sorry that you felt badly about it though @TweeBee, I did too for a while - I guess it must still rankle or I wouldn't have posted here!

@TheShellBeach same here. New Thai restaurant. I said I could do better myself with some frozen spring rolls and a jar of Blue Dragon green curry sauce.

Also banned from Popsy Frocks and Friends (which is like a cult) by asking if they might make things in cotton as polyester is sweaty and not very green.

And banned from We Love Cats Not Kids by saying that my daughter had added me to the group!

Miss gloss and the goss. Im still not completely sure why, but it seems to be because i was because i became a member of another similar group.
Nevermind ha. I watch Instagram reels now instead.

I had a 24 hour full FB ban for a comment on a post in a group for our town.

All I did was call out my friend's STBXH on his "poor me" post about how upset he was after splitting up with his partner and how he would miss her kids. He and my friend don't have kids and he failed to mention her at all in his post.

Oh how embarrassing for him ha.

When there was a lot of ooh-ing and aah-ing over a terrible poem written by some random about the Queen's death. I said that it was badly written mawkish shite (the person who wrote it wasn't in the group) and was promptly ejected.

I was booted from the Mrs Hinch group for taking the piss out of someone who asked for tips on how to make her broom more aesthetically pleasing. I questioned why a person would need to make a functional item like a broom look better, and asked if she’d stuck Swarovski crystals on her potato peeler.

I am so disappointed to have reached the end of this thread; it has really brightened my day. I'm delighted I am not the only one kicked from a FB group for seemingly little.

I also run a FB group as part of 4 admins. We don't kick people, but then again, we don't have any issues; just under 200 members, an open group, all focused on the same wide-ish topic

I’m on several Rottweiler groups on Facebook. I’ve been kicked out of a few for questioning people who have bred their dogs without health testing.
One of the best ones was when I got kicked out for slating someone who had bred their Rottweiler with a poodle, creating ‘rottipoos’ They were selling them for over £2000 🤬
I did not hold back with my opinion on that!

I got thrown out of our local free cycle group for giving away a free playhouse.

Some woman was messing me around so I said another person could have it. She then took offence to the fact I'd offered it to this other person and got me booted out.

I couldn't then get in touch with the person so I had to sell it on ebay instead. Absolutely bonkers.

I’ve heard the slow cooker groups are the worst.
My friend saw someone say they tried to make beans on toast in a slow cooker and apparently a massive row broke out 🤣

I was in a group where they were discussing some doggerel that somebody had written, and I commented to someone else that it was absolute shite.

That person said "I wrote that" and I was so embarrassed.

Cue me getting kicked out of the group.

Years ago I got booted from a FB group a friend added me to called “Sanctimommies”. I thought it was a parenting support group, I had a baby and toddler at the time and was part of loads of those groups.

Turns out the group was purely about bitching about other mums and making nasty comments. Someone posted a picture mocking a formula feeder and I commented to say how nasty she was being and to not be so judgemental, only to have replies telling me I was a stupid ugly bitch who couldn’t handle the group. I then got kicked out and an admin messaged me saying she’d let me back in if I apologised and made a nasty post. It was very bizarre. A literal hate group.

There’s also a secret breastfeeding FB group called Lactivists which is supposed to be about breastfeeding support and advocacy but they mainly trawl mumsnet to slate posts made by struggling breatsfeeding mums. They are VERY judgmental and go as far to say anyone who formula feeds shouldn’t be a parent.
