There are a lot of fans of Mao on Lemmy, Lemmy was made by communists. Less Maoist, more Marxist-Leninists though (which Mao considered himself to be).
They are. Mao was a Marxist-Leninist, and Marxist-Leninists support Mao (for most things, at least, same as Stalin, Castro, Ho Chi Minh, etc.). “Maoism,” however, is a branch of Marxism that diverges from Marxism-Leninism, as Maoists believe Mao took Marxism to a new, higher universal level. I disagree with this idea, as do many people on Lemmy.
In short, Mao was a fantastic Marxist-Leninist, but some view him as more than that and as having created new universal strategies and analysis, and these people are Marxist-Leninist-Maoists, rather than Marxism-Leninism Mao Zedong Thought. The CPC follows Marxism-Leninism Xi Jinping Thought, which carries forward Mao Zedong Thought but rejects “Maoism,” as an example.

MZT - Mao’s application of Marxism-Leninism to China’s conditions as contemporary to his era
Maoism - MZT but universal, plus some other stuff from Gonzalo and Sison.
Maoists believe the CPC is “revisionist,” usually rejecting most modern AES states.
I encourage you to refute the information in the article on the basis of its content, not who wrote it!
You’re clearly a unique thinker and not influenced at all by decades of anticommunist propaganda.
