A retard "But I'm religious! The church can't be a shadow government!"
Hym "So... They aren't an unelected body that influences politicians and billionaires and millionaires and every other kind of 'aire' to shape public policy and perception to control the behavior of the people in out country? It's not direct and/or indirect control of people's moral framework, is it? Like, you don't have millions of people who have ceded (entirely) their personal morality and their own claim to shape the moral landscape to an overarching body of authority and they're not going to act in accordance with that authority, indefinitely, are they? Because that SOUNDS like a shadow government to me!"
A different retard "It's not the religion! It's the nationalism and fundamentalism (taking the religion literally, like, actually believing the shit makes it "fundamentalism" and is, therefore, the bad kind of religion)!"
Hym "And what's difference nationalism and religion? You're either on the side of God or you're not. ("I mEaNt ThE cOuNtRy!" She interjects) It's a 'religious country.' The religion IS the country. What's the difference between the fundamentalism and religion? You're either doing what the religion or you're not! What would religious on-fundamentalism look like? It's religion but instead of doing what's in the religion they just do something else... THAT'S religious non-fundamentalism. It doesn't even make sense."

Get the Shadowmug. Shadow ordering is a variant of shadowban. Instead of hiding your posts completely, a social media platform will send them to the ends of lists where few are likely to see them. At the same time, they lie to you: tricking you into thinking your posts are doing better than they are.
For instance, when you leave a reply on Twitter and then look at the reply page, your reply will be right at the top. However, if you then look at the same page while logged in to another account, you might need to scroll page after page to see your reply.
In some cases, you might need to click 'Show more replies' to find your reply. Twitter calls tweets after that link 'LowQuality'. They have a second 'AbusiveQuality' section even further down.
Only in rare cases does any of this make sense. Twitter usually elevates low-content replies while suppressing higher-quality content. Their ranking is based more on popularity, the number of people who block you, a desire to protect verified users from dissent, etc. Only in some cases is this based on ideology: in the USA, both liberals and conservatives are heavily impacted by shadow ordering.

"Look, my reply to the GOP is at the top of the list!"
"Uh, no. I'm logged in to my account and I had to scroll 20 pages to see your tweet. They tricked you using shadow ordering."
