Anyone know of a user friendly site similar to Mumsnet?

[CherryogDog]

Finding Mumsnet hard work, too much like Facebook where it's more adverts than content.
Huge adverts covering the screen.
The migraine triggering moving ads at the top.
Changed the colours, too bright.
Some threads auto scrolling.
Going back to the top of the list.
Watch button removed from the top.
Ann Summer's arse has returned.
The only good change is moving the report button because I was constantly pressing it by mistake.

No, the ads come from MN (well, the shitty ad networks Mumsnet takes money from).

Some browsers can successfully block them without triggering the "Either give us money directly or let our dodgy ads hijack your browser and download malware" banner.

These are chat forums, and it seems to me that anyone someone wants to chat about should be find, as long it's not endangering or attacking someone.

On top of that, and on top of it being a corporate entity, not a person whose feelings might be hurt, the MN mods seem to be interested and attentive and, for all I know, might find they learn something in our comments about other forums.

Given the accelerating shittification of this site I am spending more time on Reddit these days. I am fine with the ads. It’s the fake posts that irritate me most.

At least if you go on Reddit you’ll recognise some of the fake posts from there!

Where do you find the supposed fake posts on MN? I originally was mostly in the book forum - and no fakes there, as far as I can tell.

The problem with Reddit is that it's utter chaos.
