@MNHQ

I've already been called a snowflake for objecting to a flippant post about small business going to the wall, so no doubt this will be thrown at me again but can the endless energy threads/general cost of living threads all live in their own topic page which is already set up?

This isn't burying head in the sand but just means that people can continue to get light relief from MN (and fuck me it is needed) and then only read the COL threads when they choose.

Hello @MrsRobinsonsHandprints thanks for your suggestions.

When an issue is dominating the news and is having such far-reaching effects into people's lives, then we expect to see a lot of threads in Active discussions reflecting that. Moving them all to one area now seems counter-productive, given that it's clear people want to discuss what's happening.

As time goes on, we'll look to move threads to Cost of Living where appropriate. We know that stressful news is impactful - we saw this with Covid and we certainly don't want a situation where MNers are negatively affected by dozens of threads all about the same thing.

In the meantime, please hide any threads you don't want to see.
