🍀 As it's St Patrick's Day today, can I ask you to spare 5 minutes for Noah Donahoe and his mummy? (TW)

Happy St Patrick's Day, everyone ☘

If you're not already aware of lovely Noah and what happened to him, here is a current thread (TW) over in Craicnet:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/craicnet/3951182-Noah-Donohoe

Whether you read that thread or not, please will you help his mummy in her quest for justice for Noah - and the answers she needs and deserves - by signing this petition and, if you can, then sharing it? It already has over 300k signatures, but it would be lovely if we can get it up to 500k:

Thank you 🍀

Also confused about how the thread above in in active that's it had 36 comments in over 24 hours, is in active.

That doesn't fit with how MN explained the algorithm

Turningpurple · 26/03/2022 18:33

And it's gone already 🙄

TheRealMrsMac · 26/03/2022 18:34

When MNHQ moved the thread, I was told to 'bump it every hour or so to keep it in Active' but that does not work.

Exactly.

MNHQ/Tech could easily sort this issue out but they haven't. Why not?

Yes, it's usually a case of 'blink and you miss it'.

@Turningpurple

And it's stayed the same place after my post saying it was near the bottom of active.

How does that happen?

Because the algorithms are set against this thread and for the other ones?

Yes I did.

The press will never pick this up. You can add 2+2 together yourselves.

When MNHQ moved the thread, I was told to 'bump it every hour or so to keep it in Active' but that does not work.
And yet I was told that there's so many threads being posted on at once that they need a run of posts and need to have lots of activity.

Its quite odd as well. The code of times I have reported slurs used about Irish people, I have had to report multiple times before they were removed.

I can't tell if it's because of where the post is, because it's NI or because he is black tbh.

I say that as a mixed race woman who was born in NI and lived there for my first few years.

@Turningpurple

Let's be honest, a thread in the DM doesn't harm MN. So they want the outrageous ones getting more and more people posting.

So I do think things like petitions are set up, in the algorithm to drop quickly for the busier places and the ones that are more to have threads that will attack lots of outrage.

This should attract huge amounts of outrage but it appears missing parcels, wrong parking, used wheelie bins and so on are seen as more important and deserving of light and attention by some.

Do we have a link to any articles that give a good overview of the story?

Bumping

Turningpurple · 26/03/2022 19:12

So I have posted about it in aibu and nor mentioned the petition (at the moment).

Bit it might be worth someone pointing out on it that there have been threats that keeping getting put in MN back water

TheRealMrsMac · 26/03/2022 19:27

Thank you @Turningpurple. I'm not going to link to this thread or mention the petition at the moment because I don't want to give MNHQ any excuse to move your thread to this backwater.

They will anyway. They have done since I posted about Noah in June 2020.

Well, they actually removed my threads saying they went against mumsnet standards. Shocking.

The more I think about Noah and his family the more angry I am becoming.
Jamboree01 · 26/03/2022 20:18

Heartbreak, anger, hopelessness, anger, anger, anger. Be angry. This could be any one of our children

radsreds · 26/03/2022 20:21
