I think we need an alternative to Mumset called Waspsnest where all the people who like to be dicks can go.

FiveShelties · 24/08/2025 11:32

Who will decide who posts where though?

So you’d be doing the first post?

Easy, one is for supportive comments only and the other for those who feel superior and like to have a go.

Excellent, where do I sign up?
Will people of Waspnest refrian from whining if they don't hear what they want to hear rather than the truth?

But wouldn't that be really boring? Who wants to read threads full of posts on agreement with OP?

But your post is being superior and having a go. Honestly, if you don’t like it here… why are you here? No one is forcing you to be here? If you don’t like comments you don’t agree with, scroll past. If you want an echo chamber… there’s Reddit or bluesky

Yes, if you want that crap, go to LinkedIn

So do you just want everyone to agree with you?

SadTimesInFife · 24/08/2025 11:42

WASP.... are you allowed to say that?😁

youre the one who posted a snarky post having a go at people. Are you that starved for attention? Have you tried getting out more?

theunbreakablecleopatrajones · 24/08/2025 11:43

Would that not be boring both ways? I like a mix.

Also - vipersnest.com - surely?

I don’t think it’s a forum anymore is it? Probably because so dull.

5128gap · 24/08/2025 11:48

How about there's another site for people who want to discredit this one, perpetuating the idea that MN is full of nasty spiteful individuals, when in actual fact its about the most supportive polite and generally pleasant site of its size and range that you'll find.

Im not having a go, I'm purely quering what drives people to go onto a forum and well, be mean.

but you came on here and accused people of being mean. Thst means you’re mean. So you need to go to waspsnet by your own logic no?

I was querying why people were mean and I made the post as to be humorous , not unkind.

GreenFlag · 24/08/2025 11:55

There would be nobody left on MN

Namelessnelly · 24/08/2025 11:56

True. I mean. How would it work. If an op posted something totally batshittery, is everyone just supposed to agree?

Well that’s not very supportive is it OP? Maybe you’d better buzz off over there yourself.

You can't be supportive to a wasp, they get angry and sting you.

I thought so. I was not trying to be horrible either. I just get a bit annoyed when people accuse MN of being mean and horrible when on the whole it isn’t. It’s got me through a lot of bad stuff and been a bastion of sanity. There are some dicks but I just ignore them. Or point and laugh.

Thebigonesgetaway · 24/08/2025 11:59

To be honest op it does read like you’re having a go and believing yourself superior.
