What's happened to Netmums? I just had a quick look and it seems to be up and running Confused

When people end their usernames with xx I’m tempted to ask whether it’s a feminist statement about chromosomes.

NoSauce · 31/08/2019 13:58

Hun mentality is alive and kicking fosho.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 31/08/2019 13:58

Fuck yes.

The number of posters who asterisk out their swear words is getting alarming.

BendyLikeBeckham · 31/08/2019 13:59

@BrooklynNoiceNoice totally agree. The Relationships board is fantastic and helped me massively in the past when I was in an abusive relationship. I have noticed some apologists lately saying OPs should stay and work on their marriage, stay together for the children, go to joint counselling, cut their DH some slack, stop being a nagging wife, etc when there is clear evidence of abuse, CFery or utterly selfish manchildness going on. Where is someone's self respect if they are promoting 1950s housewifery to other women in this day and age?

I hate it, I also don't like people using regular emojis especially the heart eyes one rather than the mumsnet ones.

What has happened to netmums?

astralplaning · 31/08/2019 14:04

Hunnery is obviously not against posting rules, then? Wink

I’m a bit embarrassed. I assumed the proliferation of huns was because people were being sarcastic. I had noticed an increase in apologists trying to rationalise some seriously shit male behaviour though.

PoppingOneOutIn2020 · 31/08/2019 14:07

I know what you mean, hun.

There's a reason it getting autocorrected to gun Envy

If I see once more 'Hun, just ignore the other posts'. Or ' I think the OP is getting a really hard time here' AngryAngry

This is why when I found MN, I knew I'd found my people. I strongly believe the abuse apologists, and censors are all of the same ilk. See also use of 'little one'. The hunnage will only go so far before there is an uprising, which will be welcomed. I predict it will be triggered by use of #makingmemories #famalam.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 31/08/2019 14:09

Yes, it’s bloody annoying. I also hate the one with the shrugging woman.

Desist.

Tonnerre · 31/08/2019 14:09

I have noticed a massive change and stopped using mumsnet as much since netmums ‘went down’.

I missed the netmums disaster, what happened?

lboogy · 31/08/2019 14:11

Straight talking doesn't mean you have to be a bitch. Which is what you seem to be advocating.

Lucafritz · 31/08/2019 14:12

No I've noticed it too I've been on MN a few years and there's more Huns about now than ever and the ilk that can't seem to spell and use shorthand text speak shudder
A baricade is needed or a moat of some sort possibly filled with gin and biscuits to deter them Grin

VeganVeganVegan · 31/08/2019 14:12

Ok what happened to netmums? I was banned in 2013 after getting a stalker.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 31/08/2019 14:12

I hope to god we dont see any of that hashtag bollocks.

And that censoring of swear words. Fuck off with that. You're an adult, you want to use the word so fucking use it.

I was once friends with a hun. Aint no more.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 31/08/2019 14:13

Well, consider me uprisen.

BrooklynNoiceNoice · 31/08/2019 14:13

I’m not exactly sure what happened to netmums but for a while (again not sure how long), it wasn’t open to new posts and was ‘read only’ basically.

hunsontherun · 31/08/2019 14:13
