The whole article is quite funny, especially the lists of most used tankie words, or the branding of foreignpolicy as a left-wing news source.

I have an idea about why they'd come to a weird conclusion like that:

A "hot" topic like that might have outsized participation. That is, a single post about the topic may have a huge number of comments compared to an every day post. They don't have methodology to differentiate between a rare-but-popular topic and an "every day" topic.

Just another example of how their poor methodology allows poor conclusions.

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities
