where did i say i hated Tattle??! or even alluded to having a view on it!! 😂

I've only ever stumbled across it once. This was during the trial of the two killers of Brianna Ghey.

The comparison with MN was quite marked. Many, many Tattle users were sailing very close to contempt of court. A MN user turned up here, on one of the very few threads dedicated to the then-unfolding trial, and tried a similar trick. The thread was pulled - as prompted by users of MN ourselves - through fear it could legitimately prejudice a live case.

The content of the 'Tattle' thread was grossly, possibly criminally, irresponsible. And, yes, prurient, as a PP alludes to in relation to the Letby trial upthread.

I haven't explored 'Tattle' beyond this brief occasion, and won't be doing so if all it is is a dull 'celebrity gossip' site. They are relentlessly tedious. The royal boards on MN, which I studiously avoid, are grindingly obsessive and boring enough.

there's a lovely tea shop near me called Tattle

There have been definite allusions, but I admit I can't be bothered to trawl your posts for them. That's your hobby.

If you like the sound of it, come on over. No codes from me though.

i’ve definitely clicked on it in the past from doing one search or another on a celeb story

No opinion either way.

Now…. i’m on to your views on Harry and Meghan now 😬

@TattleTalesTattling

Yeaaa I thought as much.

Are you gonna be bwave and admit to starting this thread poppet? I’ll be there too maybe I’ll ❤️ your comment ☺️

NonPlayerCharacter · 02/01/2024 17:38

You ASed me on your own, trying and failing to horrify me. I just let you know you'd find more of the same if you were sufficiently obsessed by me to keep going, and clearly you are.

That was a fun thread. Think it's done now, though.

yes - i did but i did your user name plus “tattle” and then you invited me to carry on.

And i’ve eagerly taken you up on the offer! .

You're way more interested in my history than I am.

But as an aside, other posters...this actually is rather creepy, isn't it?

5128gap · 02/01/2024 17:47

Never heard of Tattle. But if its for people who find MN upsetting, I think it might be a bit wet lettucey for me. Yes there are some posts on here that aren't very nice, but they're a minority and easy to ignore. If people are unkind to an OP plenty of others weigh in to defend them. I don't think I'd enjoy a site where you got reported and posts removed every 5 minutes as I'd much rather see challenge than censorship.

Apart from me. NFI.

Might start a thread on here about how I'm never invited to the cool mums' coffee mornings Sad

I have no idea who that is but I can see that you’re way over your head so will leave you to your delightful thread, m’dear.

It's not MN vs Tattle anyway, surely. Many of us are on both.

I will say one thing for Tattle, on MN you get away with being a lot more horrible to other posters.

There was a thread last week where a poster basically called everyone on the thread shit parents. She called the OP of that thread a liar. She admitted that she basically expected her ex (the thread was about an ex making unfair demands) to jump to her demands. There was other things to, I can't remember them all but anyway...another poster called her out on her outrageous posts and she proceeded to call that poster a bully. Along came another poster to tell her to behave etc and was calling her out on everything, that poster had her comments deleted. The awful posters posts remained up. I was absolutely gobsmacked.

Incredibly so.

The irony is it's exactly the type of behaviour BritneysBitch slammed tattlers for.

I can't say I've seen this, honestly. I thought for a while that Tattle wasn't moderated at all except for spam.

Edited for accidentally quoting too much text.

This thread seems to be old news already, it's back to picking on people's appearances now.

Rather creepy? 😮

Someone with waaaaay too much time on their hands or someone who's not in a good place right now. Either way, they need to get off the internet NOW.

LondonLass91 · 02/01/2024 17:54

I have never head of Tattle, but I will look it up. Generally I am amazed at how horrible people can be to each other. If I read one more poster writing 'give your head a wobble' or 'off you pop' I shall scream. After my head has wobbled and I have oft popped.

Handsnotwands · 02/01/2024 17:54

there are fewer fibbers on tatttle

No, why would it be creepy to look back at someone's previous posts on a public forum?

this is the kind of thing i said to my 8 year old years ago when she was having a tough time at school

in reality…. people can be pretty nasty on an anonymous chat forum and perfectly happy and fulfilled in RL!

Hmm I'm not sure I'd agree. Pretty much everyone I know in real life who are rude/mean are pretty unhappy with their lot in life. I mean of course, you do get nasty folk who are just nasty, but the ones I've met tend to not be the happiest.

Been around on the www for a long time and have seen much, much worse. This is a very tame effort.
