I liked the part where they conflate anti Zionism with antisemitism, show one comment/“post” as proof, and don’t reference it so readers can view upvotes or context around said post.
Comment on Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse

Exploring Left-Wing Extremism on the Decentralized Web: An Analysis of Lemmygrad. ml
… findings reveal a substantial increase in user activity and toxicity levels following the migration of these subreddits to Lemmygrad. ml. We also identify posts that support authoritarian regimes, endorse the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and feature anti-Zionist and antisemitic content … Moreover, their support can extend beyond backing these authoritarian regimes, even cheering on their violent actions, as evidenced by their posts on the Russian invasion of Ukraine …
The whole study makes a good read.

You’re like a broken record, bot.

The problem with political studies is that they’re nonscientific. It’s a blog post they’re calling a study. No amount of statistical analysis or clever methodology makes this a proper study because it’s based on political opinions. A terrible, ignorant set of opinions at that.

Communist subreddits like r/GenZedong and lately r/TheDeprogram, after being banned by Reddit, migrated largely to Lemmygrad.ml. I agree that the study is a good read, but for humor, not serious journalism. Their study is essentially them finding out that communists are on a communist platform, and then they conflate anti-Zionism with anti-semitism, a common hasbara tactic.
Nothing you said contradicts that Lemmygrad.ml is Marxist-Leninist, all you’ve really done is confirm that it is, while also conflating anti-Zionism with anti-semitism.
