‘People are nasty as heck on there’: the battle to close Tattle – the most hate-filled corner of the web

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/nov/24/people-nasty-as-hell-on-there-battle-close-tattle-most-hate-filled-corner-web

I'll be honest I'd never heard of Tattle before I saw this article, but it looks like the Mumsnet Kiwi Farms. There are 6 sub-forums: Families, Gurus, Instagramers, Bloggers, Influencers and Celebs.

Each forum contains generic gossip threads about largely female, UK-based Internet and daytime TV personalities.

Some choice highlights from the article:

“Everything about me is twisted,” says the Dublin-based influencer Grace Mongey, 33. “When my cat went missing for four days, they said I hid it in my back yard for publicity.” Things got so bad, Mongey had to take a mental health break from social media in July this year.

In August, the influencer Em Sheldon gave evidence before a parliamentary committee, calling for the site to be taken down.

lol

Without a hint of self-awareness, the article opens by endorsing doxxing:

Abbie Draper was so excited when she heard there was to be a big Tattle reveal that she set a reminder on her phone. On Friday, 1 October, at 7pm, Andy Malone was going to reveal the identity of the founder of the notorious website Tattle Life – the mysterious “Helen”.
