Tattle is much better

[TattleTalesTattling]

AIBU?

Anyone got a Tattle invitation code please. I'd like to join up...

Funniest thing I've seen on Tattle was a gif saying something like 'why are they so obsessed with us ' - talking about a Tattle thread on MN. This was on the Tattle thread which actively reads and comments on MN. The irony !!

I mean - there are nice people on MN, bitches on MN; nice people on Tattle, bitches on Tattle. Same as real life. There are also a load of people who can be both - mood dependent.

But why do the responses prove the point?

That's a different question.

You said: "What was OP’s point? I don’t think they actually made one, did they?"

They did make one, and it was that Tattle was better than Mumsnet. Asking why the responses support the point is a different question.

I just read the Kate Garraway thread on Tattle. Not many nice, kind people on that thread.

Isn’t this the kind of snide remark you supposedly dislike? Maybe you fit in just fine on MN 🤷🏼‍♀️

I can't even find it. Doesn't seem to be trending.

How can it be nice to read threads on MN, run over to tattle, copy the photos of people on to tattle and then mock others’ clothes, appearances, room decor etc? So spiteful and nasty. And very very childish.

Wonder what made the OP post this thread. With the kind of title a five year old would write.

Weird to be so invested in a place like tattle that you need to have a childish competition about which site is betterer. Tattle isn’t anything special. Just a place for people to spout bile on celebs and try and outdo each other on what minutiae they can add about someone in the public eye. If that’s what floats their boat then fine. But having to brag about it on MN? Odd.

I only ever read tattle when it comes up on these threads. And I can help but cringe for some of the contributors there.

Forum wars is so 2010. I remember the Digital Spy vs various other places (all now defunct, I believe, and even Digital Spy has a very limited message board now) and how petty and spiteful it all became.

It's quite okay to post on both Mumsnet and Tattle. One place isn't necessarily better than the other. If you want to be spiteful about influencers though, then I guess Tattle is better. I don't follow any influencers and barely know their names, let alone feel the need to be horrible about them, but each to their own.

Whoops, must have used a forbidden keyword for my post to be auto-nixed? But the Kate Garraway thread on there is easily findable. I don't use Tattle anymore but found it straightaway via Google. It's pretty mean-spirited, picking apart a widow's statement announcing the death of her husband. Not that Mumsnet is any nicer, of course.

I love both !!! Tattle is better for celeb goss tho

I love both too! I love my AIBU on MN, and bitching about TV shows on Tattle.

I'm not interested in celebrity gossip but have FOMO. Is it worth me chasing an invite?

@AlisonWonderbra people on Tattle have been told not to give out codes to MN users as they have been going on there to deliberately goad and complain about how awful it is. The codes can be traced back to the person who gave them out and they can be banned/restricted if the new person causes trouble. So unless you know someone to ask in real life it's probably unlikely you'll get one...

You can lurk if you want to see what it's like and how much you think you'd get out of it. You don't need an account to read it.

Just been working through the site. Took me a while to work out tit was shit!
I don't know who most of the celebs are that they're talking about.
But my god, the mumsnet forum is hilarious 😂 😃

Tattle rules, mumsnet drools 😝

Don't forget the Grim Reaper who haunts the Style & Beauty threads 👤

Both are capable of being rather horrid.

I think with Kate Garraway, it's been very good at what actually happened with him and it's bizarre in reality.

It's also brought to light a lot of people who have started charities, trusts etc for their own gain.

Just remember when you're lurking, the swearwords are censored, so it sounds all twee with posters apparently using tit for shit and bleep for cunt and duck for fuck

I like Tattle, the off topic section and chat though, not the influencer threads and the Kate Garraway thread is unkind, to say the least

I had a quick look at Tattle but it seems to be all about celebrities, most of whom I don't even recognise, so I don't think it's for me.

I'm trying to wean myself onto Reddit, where at least there's a better cross-section of people.

I've been addicted to Mumsnet for about four years now, visiting daily, but I don't really fit in so I mostly lurk.

I have a trans (adult) child, which doesn't go well. I was told by one poster that I ought to have my then three-year-old taken into care because I have a staffy and a staffy/rottie cross. I was told I didn't ought to be allowed to work in healthcare because of my black sense of humour. I don't own a dishwasher, I do own a toilet brush and I only shower once a day, occasionally skipping one day a week if I'm feeling lazy. I'm scum.

😄

The Kate Garraway thread is vile!!!! There are some really nasty people on that thread however, some of the Tattlers are hilarious and I am so sucked in (even though I can't get an invite for love nor money). I started reading to find out what Mother of Daughters (Instagram person) had really said and then got hooked on it.
