Audience

Participants are typically politically aware individuals, often with a left-leaning perspective, who are frustrated with media manipulation and political corruption. The community attracts a mix of younger and older adults, primarily from Australia, who are passionate about media ethics and social justice. The vibe is often irreverent, combining serious discussions with humor and satire.

Posting culture

Content that thrives includes critical analyses of media articles, humorous memes, and discussions about current events related to Murdoch's influence. Members appreciate well-researched posts and original content, while promotional or overly partisan material tends to be downvoted. Posting frequency can vary, but active discussions often arise during significant news events.

Brand engagement notes

Brands should approach this community with caution, as members are generally hostile to overt promotion or corporate messaging, especially from entities perceived as part of the media landscape they critique. Authentic engagement, such as sharing insights on media ethics or supporting independent journalism, may resonate better. Brands should avoid direct advertising and instead focus on contributing to discussions in a meaningful way.
