Don't spend long enough there/ here to know or care. I find those that complain about these things seem to spend their life on here. What do they expect!?

Dunno, it’s nothing like Dadsnet though.

Why is it like Mumsnet and why is that a bad thing?

Maybe clarify what you mean Op, cause most people don’t know what mumsnet is like, then we can say if we agree with you or not.

Yours sincerely

this - ive never been on mumsnet and to be honest living alone in a pandemic with bugger all else to do most of the time after work, i spend wayyyyy too much time on here but i never let threads that don’t interest me bother me

if the name tells me right off its not for me i scroll past, if i can’t tell i pop n then leave again if it dont like it

what i did let get to me at the start of the week was the content of some actual posts rather than threads themselves, it was a bit of a collective build up that made me go is this really how people think and behave because if it is then i despair with the world , but then since then ive read some great posts to bring me back a bit of faith in humanity, including some very progressive and insightful posts by men on the violence against women threads - _ea monkey i am looking at you

I found fab through mumsnet too, but I’ve never gone back there, it’s a nest of vipers over there, and in general people are far nicer over here.

You're better off not knowing

It's like a BBC news programme or an Ant and Dec production- just no!

Recently the lounge has resembled a Jeremy Kyle production.

I'm not judging...

I'm watching and learning

There and to the left a bit

As the person that stated in a post (about how the forums have changed) earlier today that this place could be like Mumsnet at times, I should point out that it was meant not in a derogatory way (to either here or Mumsnet), and more as an illustration of how this place has become a lot more "issues" based at times lately, which from what I have seen and know of Mumsnet is a fair comparison.

Not that either here or Mumsnet are completely that way, or that there is any problem with "issues" based threads either - some have a lot of value and can provide good insight and sources of understanding.

Just a personal observation, nothing more, nothing less.

Hungry Hippos was originally commissioned by Emperor Augustus and Connect 4 was a favourite of Caligula...

admittedly he did it with Christians heads, but the idea was the same

But no this is nothing like there, not been on in ages but it can be rather quite vicious & way more opinionated in a lot of the topics.

Plus There are zero dick pics & few male opinions.

I haven't been on for a few years but I swear to god it was the worst interactive online website I have ever come across. O.o

I'd take Fab over that website any day of the week.
