I didn’t know fod deleted comments. I wonder if comment-less postings will become more popular?

Oddish · 23/05/2018 16:42

eatmyshoes that particular IGer has behaved so strangely over all this that I feel concerned for her.

I agree Eatmyshoes, she was asked directly and nothing was said, I am shocked that that language is accepted.

HereForTheTea27 · 23/05/2018 16:48

Appalling that she would make a comment such as that when Knife Crime in the UK is at its highest rate.
If someone has screenshotted her comment then she had better hope that doesn't come back to haunt her like they have for her deleted friend.

How are we meant to know who all these people are? NSSM? CB?

AdidasGirl · 23/05/2018 16:51

We were asked to stop mentioning names @ABuckToothedGirlinLuxembourg
It's easy to see who they are if you have a little scroll.

Atalune · 23/05/2018 16:55

Can anyone link to the last couple of threads on IG and ethics?

Why can’t we name others?? Why?

sparklefluff · 23/05/2018 16:55

Cady, are you sure you aren't a journo? I feel that a lot of whipping up goes on when you pop up, then low and behold we have a 'story' in the media 🤔 then you go strangely quiet only to pipe up again to derail and make something out of nothing.
Wash, rinse, repeat.

PunsandNeedles · 23/05/2018 16:56

Abuck Candice Brathwaite. Not so smug now (and she defo isn't).

sparklefluff · 23/05/2018 16:57

@EatMyShoes and when the same IGer is a staunch supporter of any anti knives.

CadyHeron · 23/05/2018 16:57

No I'm not a journo. No I'm not an Instamums. No I don't work for the aforementioned accounts. Plus all the rest.
Honestly, it's ridiculous how you can't say anything different to the narrative on here without being accused of being whatever, it really is.

sparklefluff · 23/05/2018 16:57

And on that note of that cutting comment, I made this point on NSSN post, and she liked it.
So are we saying she also supports the view the comment was inappropriate?

ABuckToothedGirlinLuxembourg · 23/05/2018 16:58

Thanks, a lot of the time I have no idea who people are talking about. I follow mostly fashion/interiors accounts, and only really ended up getting engaged in these threads after the style and beauty ones filtered over here.

@CadyHeron you don't offer a different opinion, you just continually tells us all we are bullies and trolls and do little ever to substantiate it, and when you are challenged, you conveniently disappear.

Oddish · 23/05/2018 16:59

sparkle she made some comment about liking every comment she got as ‘recognition’ wether she agreed with them or not.

PunsandNeedles · 23/05/2018 17:00

Abuck you are not missing much.

Did you follow mod for fashion?

sparklefluff · 23/05/2018 17:00

Thanks @Oddish I missed that.

I do find that tactic a little peculiar, but I can kind of see the end game in that.

kirinm · 23/05/2018 17:00

Unrelated to this issue but I've noticed all the big instagrammers always add their own name as a hashtag on their post. Anyone know why? I'm guessing the more their name is hastagged, the more popular they look but is that the only reason?

CadyHeron · 23/05/2018 17:00

Punsnneedles eh? I post on lots of different threads on MN, not just this one.

eagleflies · 23/05/2018 17:01

@sparklefluff she made a point of saying she liked or tried to like all comments regardless of whether she agreed with them. And then regretted that because she couldn't keep up!

PavlovaPrincess · 23/05/2018 17:01

@cadyheron you don't have any opinion at all, you just like to nitpick and pull posts apart for attention.

And you've also called us bullies for having a differing opinion to the Instamums and referred to people on these threads by a disablist term and yet, somehow you seem to think you have the moral high ground.

Oddish · 23/05/2018 17:01

Hahahaha coming from YOU? Who jumped on me for using an emoji! What do you get from coming on these threads cady? #bekind to yourself Grin
