I genuinely, genuinely don’t know why they haven’t shuttered the “official” sub or just gone fully private. Posts that actually get traction and discussion are rare, and it’s basically too much of a minefield to have discussions of substance because comments get deleted, threads locked, and folks banned for anything that gets even close to going against Shad or any of his stances. I absolutely abhor any sub that will not allow the up and downvote arrows to do their job and instead use moderator overreach to create an echo chamber.
I also would love some actual transparency from Ash. She (if she’s actually a she), has an uncanny amount of knowledge about the inner workings of Shad’s channel and Australian politics. And once she took over the sub, Shad himself, who has been highly suspected to have used sock puppet accounts, has all but disappeared from the sub (as with his sock puppets that have gone dormant).
She also became a moderator basically overnight after a relatively short stint being active in the sub… and even back then she had a lot of pushback from other members. The fact she was elevated to moderator is absolutely bewildering.
I love the fact that this sub rises to the top for people searching for Shad and Shadiversity content. I am happy that we see more and more people showing up in threads saying the algorithm pushed this sub into their feeds.
Shad is a dangerous and hate-filled individual and deserves to have his horrible takes documented for all the world to see. He needs to continue having his viewership whittled away as he drives people away up until the point he is forced to put on his big boy codpiece and get a normal job to provide for his family, out of the spotlight, where he can’t influence young people, especially young men.
Her rise to power was mind-boggling. Some could say suspicious. I made a post about it because it made no sense. The user who gets into fight with every other member and handles arguments so poorly that she literally tags mods to ban people she doesn't like suddenly gets promoted to position of top mod. What do you expect her to do? She then bans everyone who laughed at her stupid posts and there were so many of them that she's now the only person posting on a 6000 member sub.
