To think Tattle is disgusting?

[Irishgene]

I was just searching for a lady I have followed on Instagram for some time (The Nurse Mum) who's little boy Jaxon sadly died. She's doing a ball event and I wanted to find out more info......anyway, after putting her name into Google I came across a website called Tattle with her name there. I've never seen this website before but having gone onto it my god it's awful! Such evil spouting from women about other people....I couldn't read on it was just so horrible and contrived.

How is something like that allowed to operate? Makes some of the 'harsh' comments on here look lovely 😕

That's not good enough.

Also agree

Its awful. Id be absolutely mortified to find out say someone I was close to was one of them. I really wouldn't want to be around someone who thought that was okay. A lot of them aren't just posting on there, they're trolling on Instagram and they're digging for and sharing personal information and no matter what someone's done wrong, two wrongs don't make a right.

Some tattle threads are weird and they seem bordering on stalker and very obsessed with someone they claim to hate. Women mostly get torn apart , men aren't quite so torn apart . The same few posters normally stick on the really hateful threads and they close ranks so no dissenting opinion allowed . The stephen Bear thread is amazing , he's vile and completely deserves it.

I think MN could be nastier than Tattle but the threads ripping people to pieces over there would be deleted over here.

Kiwi farms is some next level stuff, don't go on there. I'm normally quite liberal about internet censorship but that place is a cesspit of hate..

Kiwi Farms takes some reading as its jargon heavy. The LP threads weren't as bad as I thought they'd be though and there was actually some very good debate on there as they insist on posters providing linkable evidence to back up claims.

I've read a few threads on there, and honestly, to start with I thought they were quite funny. But the more I read... The more I realised how mean they are.
I mean yes, the people they are talking about are in the public domain, sharing every single aspect of their and their children's lives. But some of the things people say are just incredibly nasty, and they'd never say it to people's faces.

There's one thread about a YouTube/Insta-mum from Birmingham who gets dozens and dozens of posts about her a day, and all of them are unpleasant. Yeah, this particular mum is a bit chaotic, massively over-shares and is just a bit cringe. But she doesn't deserve all the venom she gets.

There's another massive conversation surrounding an autistic teenager in Florida, whose parents have a YouTube channel. Both parents are very overweight and are similarly chaotic and clueless. They get horrible comments constantly as well.

It's always the same dozen or so people commenting. They must just sit there practically all day, spouting nasty comments out into the universe. I think it says more about them than it does the people they are writing about.

That's what I don't understand. So much effort put into disliking people.

I won't be going on there again....it just shocked me! Like I said, I must be naive 😳

I’ve seen some thread and posts on there that are horrible and definitely feel like bullying. But I’ve seen threads about other people which are much more measured and are factually calling out bullshit, lies and shady practices. It’s like any site, isn’t it, some posters are fucking terrible people, some aren’t.

Speaking as someone who has been personally affected by Tattle, I think it is an absolutely vile place full of the absolute dregs of the internet. Yes MN can be a bit of an awful pile-on to posters, but it's as anonymous as it can be - the trolls on Tattle take pleasure on ripping people to shreds with lies and heinous assumptions. What it does to people's lives is horrific and IMO it should be de-indexed by Google.

@linencurtains I'm sorry to hear that xx

Tattle always shocks me. They come across as jealous bitter people with way too much time on their hands practically stalking influencers/people in the public eye.

The posts on here are bulling responses to normal people - beyond nasty.

Tattle is talking about people who choose to put themselves in the public eye. Whether you like it or not, its always going to happen. At least it happens off peoples instagram posts where they dont have to see it.

Do I think some posts go too far? Hinch, Monroe etc - yes.

Do I also like the fact it shows some people as being unsavoury little con artists? Also yes.

It’s just a gossip site and they are only discussing people who put themselves into the spotlight.

much worse is the type of forum I found once where mostly married men discussed prostituted women eg in massage parlours in Chinatown and shared tips on how to get them down to a tenner for a hand job.

We all have a toxic side, it's human nature.

You have come on here to spout judgement on those who go on Tattle to spout judgement.

...and that's my judgement.

Own it!

While there are some posts there you have to raise eybrow at, I agree with pp that some are quite eye opening about certain "influencers" and "saviours".

I prefer not to get roped into influencers in the first place but given the impact and money made - plus crowdfunding stuff that springs up, I’m not surprised places like Tattle do too

Is that you Clemmie Hooper?

I find tattle very nasty too sometimes but it can also be hilariously funny. I've never commented on there personally but a lot of the stuff about these "influencers" is true.

I guess if you don't like it don't read it. And saying it should be "de-indexed" or whatever is ridiculous - for a start they'd just reopen under a new name.

No-one is forcing you to look at this stuff. You wouldn't read a nasty book if you thought it'd upset you would you? You do have autonomy over your own actions you know?

If you mean JT you’re right, she’s a narcissistic weirdo.

In general yes, but some threads are full of hope for the abused/exploited/ drugged out of their heads children. Rightly horrible about the adults who did the abuse/exploitation etc.

And some threads even I cannot go on they are just so revolting, ce la vie

I agree with this.

I think there appears to be some self moderation as regards criticism of children (i.e. it's not the done thing and is challenged).

I don't think you can judge the site as a homogenous mass, each thread has it's own community and the discourse varies a lot from thread to thread. The megan and harry threads are frothy, vicious (or certainly have been in the past). The sali hughes one was illuminating. I follow one thread on a certain food blogger and they are forensic in exposing certain inconsistencies with the way the person presents themselves, the impact they are having on the people they claim to be helping etc.

@BiBoop 100 percent agree with you, I've seen mumsnet be really nasty in fact worse than tattle.
