Not sure if this is off topic. Apologies if it is.
Has anyone read the New Statesman article on Tattle?
There's so much wrong with it. First, it says this is the most extreme site online. A couple of times I have thought posts on here have been out of line. I reported each time and the posts were removed quickly. I don't go on many sites/forums etc but I find Twitter the most offensive, hateful site on the internet. Some of the comments which are posted- and stay up- are absolutely vile. Ironically, this journalist uses her Twitter account to link to her story.
There is also a lazy comment about Tattle.life being filled with middle aged women. Not sure that claim can be supported but even if it were true, so what? Are middle aged women not allowed a voice? Are they only allowed on Mumsnet?
Part of me wonders whether there are vested interests in shutting a site like this down because it is so critical of what goes on on Instagram since so many people are making big bucks through Instagram. But maybe that's too conspiratorial.
The Instagram stuff aside, there are threads on here which have given me so much hope. I don't actually comment on the ones which I'm referring to as I don't feel brave enough to share some of my own experiences, but they have given me more support than anything else I've read online about these types of issues.
Sorry for this massive rant. I know I'm preaching to the converted but I had to get it off my chest.
