Mocking MN posters

just thought I'd point out, there's a whole subreddit dedicated to MN users mocking threads / posters from this site

Thought I'd point that out to people who may be unaware

MNetters mock Netmums 🤷‍♀️

Does Netmums still exist?

Yes, pretty sure it does!
I still go over there for recipes sometimes, there's a good lentil curry one I keep losing and going back to pinch 😁

A bunch of dry shites

Who cares. We can’t go to war with them or anything.

Or can we...🤣

We know why you don’t like them. 😬

Most of the people that post on there are MN users themselves. They’ve created another group that sit at the other lunch table in the school hall. Seriously though there is a lot of rubbish on both MN and Reddit. I don’t think one is much superior really. I do think it’s unkind to slag off specific users who are clearly genuine long term posters (a lot of trolls on MN) and there was a thread taking the piss out of Mnetters posting their god awful outfits which again is just unnecessarily mean.

Do you @WatchingOver ??

They talk about problem posters, I’ve no issue with that.

TheIcecreamManCometh · 04/04/2024 21:00

I like that sub reddit.
Often saves me time.
They can spot creative writing and pervs a mile off.
I'm sure mods on here would be quicker referring to it.
It also began off the back of the debacle that was a crowdfunding shitshow.
A dumpster fire of a cancer thread written by someone perving on posters in his time of grief.

Well maybe you should

I'd be very surprised if MNHQ don't read that sub Grin

They don't even read Mumsnet

Jealous of what exactly? The ability to join a forum and make posts?

Outfits. They take the photos and mock them. Probably because they can't dress as nicely

That's actually really sad 😂
Just shows some never really leave the school playground behind 😁

JaneJeffer · 04/04/2024 21:02

Have Tattle started a thread about this thread yet? 😂

Why should I have a problem with them talking about problem posters?

If so, I’m a huge fawning fan. 🥰

I think it's posts like this that make people on other forums take the piss! I very much doubt that anyone on Tattle would be in the slightest bit jealous of any of the bizarre threads in Style and Beauty - particularly some of the clothing recommendations 😂😂😂

Seems people take the piss here too.

Ah, I see, you are being sarcastic

Gwenhwyfar · 04/04/2024 21:07

Many years ago I was called disablist on that group. My crime? Saying I didn't have a bedside lamp near my own bed. Reason why I didn't have one at the time was that the main switch was reachable from the bed.
But I'm a bitch apparently...

They don't need to, there's an established Mumsnet discussion already ongoing, thread part 35. Or maybe 36, I'm not sure. Mostly taking the mickey out of hideously expensive high fashion items highlighted in Style and Beauty. I don't think they're jealous, more a bit bemused at the cost of stuff that looks so cheap.

RainbowZebraWarrior · 04/04/2024 21:08

I'm assuming everyone has googled their MN user name by now for any sub reddits / tattle threads.

grinandslothit · 04/04/2024 21:09

It's been around for years I don't think anyone really cares anymore
