Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse. We need to discuss ways to combat this. One group- memes or something is wholly controlled by Chinese state actors. What do you think?

Man’s freaking out cos he just learned .ml stands for marxist-leninist 😂 Glad to find something we strongly agree on tho comrade.
To be clear, .ml stands for Mali, and it was allegedly chosen because it was cheap/free. Lemmy.ml is just the flagship, test instance, and happens to have a lot of communists because the devs are communists. Lemmygrad.ml is explicitly ML.
Ah cheers for the clarity, my mistake
No worries!

Exploring Left-Wing Extremism on the Decentralized Web: An Analysis of Lemmygrad. ml
The whole study makes a good read.
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. Further, the only comment they point out as anti-semitic, was in fact removed by the moderation for spilling over the edge, as comrade Edie pointed out here. Claiming grad is anti-semitic because of comments it removes is tortured logic.
Also not sure why you’re tagging my grad account, if I was trying to hide that I wouldn’t post in my account description that I’m a Marxist-Leninist, nor would I have made my grad account the same name as my Hexbear and Lemmy.ml accounts.
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.

Is that real?
Yes lol
Incredible, the shining knight of Zionism and anti-communism.
Holy shit 😂
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.
“But isn’t Marxism a study of politics?!” No, it’s a body of works in economics and historical analysis, not wayward political opinions.
