Is everyone aware that Mumsnet are posting your threads on Facebook?

[ImEasyLikeSundayMorning]

If you knew that already then that's grand.
If you expected it and are fine with it, great!

What I feel deeply uncomfortable with is, is OP's having very specific and detailed stuff out out by MN on FB.

There seems to be little choice happening here.
Less anonymity.

I am now worried about posting on MN Inca we it's posted on fb.

AIBU!

.

😳 I didn’t know this. Well I certainly won’t be posting any threads! Thanks for this op.

Have you been living under a rock?

suppose it helps with the cost of living crisis

Of course MN have social media.

How is Facebook less anonymous than mumsnet?

I don't really like the idea of it but I suppose only people who join group have access to it?

Yes I agree. I do hope mumsnet asks posters if they can post on Facebook. I doubt they do as anything on their website is theirs or whatever.

However I feel that people are a lot more likely to see things on Facebook, than the mumsnet forum

First time it happened to me, I nearly died of shock 😆 Can’t imagine how much worse it feels to be picked up by a national newspaper

More annoying recently was that a thread was posted that had been deleted on MN due to being by a previously banned poster . Not good having that posted on Facebook

Why does it make any difference to the OP? Sometimes people comment on the post, so they obviously can't address the topic anonymously, but that's their choice.

It's not like it puts all your posts onto your Facebook page for your friends to see!

It's not, but I suppose where the OP is coming from is that threads on MN (unless the media picks it up) are contained on MN, whereas on Facebook they can be shared on people's pages and people who wouldn't normally see it might see it (and therefore is more 'outing')

Nothing on the internet is private, anyone can read Mumsnet without an account and threads here pop up for all kinds of random searches.
It's no more secure than Facebook.

They get posted out in emails, on FB, twitter and lazy journalists print them too.

I wouldn't ever post an outing thread and often change details and name change when I post about various stuff to stay anonymous.

Nope. The page is public and blue ticked.

Yes, I was aware of this.

The Sun, Mirror, and Daily Mail also post threads from here all the time.

If someone likes or comments on the post, it will become visible on that person's friends' news feeds (it has the globe icon on top of the post which means it is a public post)

What difference does it make?

It's a public website. Regularly gets picked by national media as well as social media.

Nothing on here is private.

I’ve seen them post a few threads which were taken down for privacy reasons very shortly after.

They not contained on MN.

MN is a public forum, therefore they're 'contained' on that massive search engine called Google (to name just one).

I saw that, there were people on the Facebook post asking what a PBP was.

This.

@woodhill anyone can read Mumsnet threads, you don’t have to sign up it’s all completely public. You just have to join to reply/contribute, not to read.

But you don't need an account to read Mumsnet, it's completely free and publicly available. So what's the difference?

Nope, anyone who views or likes MN's page!

The difference is the amount of users i guess.
Even taking into account people who Google and randomly access mumsnet.
