Trans identified Mumsnet member AidaP is scraping Mumsnet

[BambooLampshade]

Hi Mumsnet, though you should know that a trans identified man - who often posts on Mumsnet as @aidap - is scraping the feminimism board, in order to create some sort of grading system.

It's basically electronic stalking.

What is this?

Oh yes, I have downloaded most of mumsnet and we will be doing embeddings of the content to try to understand how does the rot and hate builds and spreads.

I never had so much hate and delusion on my hard drive before 😅

The most blatant example is probably Andrew Burns/Obi Wan Kenobi/Mr Mighty Almighty/Mitzababy/Tiffany Scott, late of this parish. Even his own brother said that he was 'at it'. He was only refused access to the women's prison estate because of the uproar surrounding the Isla Bryson case.

Then there's Lennon/Katie Dolatowski who used his claimed identity to access female children.

I feel ill 🤮

What's up with that?!?!

MN usually bans trolls and abusive posters. It sounds like AidaP is really bad news, so why haven't MN banned them?

BEFORE they scraped Mumsnet.

AidaP posted that on Bluesky. Where he constantly links back to the threads he's on, on Mumsnet. So Mumsnet cannot pretend they don't know that it's him, on here.

I did not know that. The more sunlight, the better.

Time for Mumsnet to ban him, I think.

(I mean, obviously he'll then be back with a VPN etc, he can't help but come to scold us, but let's stand up for what we can)

ETA: Sorry, messed up a quote of @Hedgehogforshort there.

"You know i posted here too about him?"

😂😂

No idea who this person is but they sound like a massive twat tbh

OK, I don't really know exactly what data scraping is or what it entails, but it seems that it's people who analyse what's being said on a website, is that right?

If so, I don't know what can really be done about that given that websites like this are public and anybody can access what people write.

*he

He will love you for that comment. A twat is actually what he wishes he had, sadly being called one is probably as close as he will get, as unfortunately he has a dick instead.

I hate that user but I'm not sure if scraping posts means they can be banned. The abusive language and derailing are surely ban worthy though.

This

Yes, there is Dadsnet and posters can't be banned for being male only.

Okay, so aidap comes across as an abhorrent human being, but do you think that the hysterical responses making up the majority of this thread are coming across well? Or are most of you channelling primary-school-“the teachers coming”-screamy-little-girl energy..?

..however, Im loving this “bill gates harvesting your dna” style explanation of aidap’s nefarious plot! 😂

Beg your pardon, that was poorly thought through. Please change ‘massive twat’ to ‘tedious bellend’.

It’s explicitly against the Mumsnet terms and conditions. A while back Aston university academics were supervising a PhD student who was scraping Mumsnet data without permission to show what bigots we were (no, I don’t know how that got ethical approval either) and they got into trouble. Not sure how it ended. Of course, a university is easier to locate than some random on the internet with a made up name but fingers crossed Mumsnet can do something about this.

I originally only came on MN for housekeeping tips.

He can do whatever he wants but he will never have a vagina. Bwahahaha.

What does he hope to gain from this? What is his end goal?

Fascinating to compare the violent imagery of many TRA to the debate on this site and conclude that Mumsnet is the real problem.

Hysterical? Screamy little girls? Why the misogyny?

So someone takes what people freely put on the internet and put it some place else and now there is hysteria over it?

I dont think mm has ever said they are secret or hidden same way people whinge about the government having access to details people also freely put out there

‘Screamy little girl energy’. WTF? Get lost.

I was just thinking this. Bless him, he’s trying so hard to be edgy and clever. It’s like when your 5 year old runs off to write a note about why mummy is a big meanie for saying no.

I will be showing my ignorance here as I don't know anything about The Mikado, but I thought to myself "why not embarrass yourself a bit more (@PlayingDevilsAdvocate.....) and show just how low brow you (me) obviously are?" So, I am rising to my own silly challenge:

I immediately thought of Santa when I read 'TheAutumnCrow's' comment, and I appreciated it as such 😉

I am now off to address Mr Google to see what he can tell me about 'The Mikado' ...

Every day really is a school day!
