#AD

[MintyT]

I don't know about you, but since the instamums posts I have really noticed the #AD on posts, and to be honest I had no idea I was so gullible. I loved the threads regards instamums and really think MN made a small change, well done us

Yes, it's not nice and not something I'd ever say to anyone, but she needs to develop a thicker skin, especially if she's now an author

Um. Sorry, what now? One rule for you, and another for everyone else? EVERYONE should adopt the 'yeah it's not something I would ever say to anyone'. Full stop. End of story.

Fence what you going to do about it then?! Switch off the internet? It's just not realistic to expect everyone to be nice!

People aren’t homogenous. I had a friend who literally said what she thought. She had no filter. I found it funny but she rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way. I wouldn’t have tried to change her though because it was part of who she was (I would usually point out when I had a difference of opinion to her but she was largely oblivious to the fact that she wasn’t confirming to the norms in terms of what she should or shouldn’t say)

@tometogetanewfence it seems from your posts you are an account on Instagram that would like to use it for business and making money, so do you not think you are a bit biased? Fame is fame however you dress it up.
You just don't hear people famous in other domains whinging about someone critisizing their dress or latest job. If Instagram accounts are getting on Radio 2 and in national newspapers they are just like any other reality stars surely? I personally would not message someone their dress looked terrible, but people will. There will be people who don't think that every instababy is cute, or that balancing children for photos is safe. Although Father Of Daughters seems to have toned down his antics considerably recently. But if that was Joe from the council flat balancing a toddler to take a photograph people would be losing their minds. Just because these accounts come from wealthy backgrounds doesn't mean the whole population should treat them differently.

EVERYONE should adopt the 'yeah it's not something I would ever say to anyone'. Full stop. End of story

I agree. But good luck with that. Perhaps you could also pop over to Insta and mention it to Susie, MOD and Natasha. It seems they're only concerned with hurtful comments when they're on the receiving end, rather than when they're dishing them out.

Pavlova, way to miss completely what I said. It's obvious that material stuff is what matters to you. Fair enough.
They''ll read your lolz and fucking ironics etc comments and then you (general you) act astonished and wide eyed and wonder where ever they get the idea that this is a bitchy thread.

What's the disingenuous nonsense with the scrawled "ad" in MOD's story today? For someone who claims not to want a fight....

He’s blaming the girls for losing his passport ?.

Why?

@CadyHeron nice try, but you know bugger all about me.

I'm not the one who's sold my children soul for a free holiday to Disney, some bic razors and a new set of pans.

No idea lolz, he should know where he'd put his passport ffs!
Stop gurning, find your passport, stop blamin the kidz, betz it was you that lost it all along

keep going, pavlova, you show your true colours the more you post.

The people who came on here to call bitching and try to put all the non-rational posters in their places have been more bitchy and changed the tone completely to the original conversations taking place! I came over here on hearing that a bunch of mumsnetters were being utter bitches to some other mumsnetters who were talking about the #dearmumsnet!!! The shit stirrers and the bitches were out on a thread called #ad

Maybe the next shout out for "freebies" should be pants #gimmepants #onlytheposhtypes hashtag big names... lol

@CadyHeron

I'm still here, I've nothing more to say re #AD, I feel it's been done to death, unlike the majority on the instamum threads I never had an issue with the use or non use of #AD, gifted or whatever. I never felt as though I'd been duped in any way. I enjoy insta for what it is, I'm happy in my own life and have no desire to try to emulate anyone else's by buying clothes, furniture, tupperware etc that I either don't need or can't afford.

This thread, just like the many others is just an excuse to slag off various instamums.

I agree with what mamabearofone, NB & MOD have said about Mumsnet. I also find it quite hostile and many of the threads do have posters who bully other posters.

MOD was definitely bullied on various threads, as were other instamums. I haven't ventured onto the Trans threads but on other threads (especially in relationships and anything to do with breast vs bottle) there are often vile comments made and horrendous "advice" given.

From the comments on insta re Mumsnet there are many women who have also found Mumsnet to be unpleasant and unhelpful.

This thread is no different to the many others re instamums, the same posters making the same catty comments about women they don't know.

yay, sofia's still here

Hmm why are you on another thread then sofialemon, when you dislike MN so much? I saw you loads on the insta threads previously.

It doesn't matter whether you care about ads or not, because you're so 'happy'. There are ASA rules.

MOD was definitely bullied on various threads, as were other instamums

Show examples of bullying.

And CadyHeron, you said on a previous thread you didn't follow or even know most of these instamums. And yet here you are again.

Has sofia said she doesn't like MN? Apologies if so, but I read it that she meant there are nasty, bullying tones in places which there is, but that doesn't necessarily mean you hate the full site.
There's lovely parts too, with lots of support and stuff. The celeb and Insta threads dreg up the murkier side though, for sure.

Cady Heron you posted this

MOD was definitely bullied on various threads,.

Where?

A large number of the comments on the campaign posts are positive wrt mumsnet. As we know it’s difficult to voice a dissenting opinion on Insta so I think the number of people saying they disagree with the campaign and the poor engagement with the hashtags and posts speaks for itself.

Ok cadyheron, but why do you and SL keep contributing to threads you don't like.

MOD's story today with ad scrawled made me really mad. Against my better judgement I started looking at IG today and it was the first thing I came across. Really she's not playing ball, is she.
