It's still an unrelated survey, not the one the article is about. It's better than a twitpoll, but the 15k sample size got me excited in a way a 1500 sample size doesn't.
Raw sample size means very little when you're wanting statistically significant information. A properly prepared poll can get a statistically representative response from as little as 100 responses as long as you're not needing something like 1% margins.
On the other hand, a twitter poll will self-select based on that userbase. It won't be an representative base of the country/world... but it will give a statistically representative response for the group of users still on and actively using the MechaHitler site. MechaHitler social media users giving a 96% response like this is insane. Twitter is nearly as far from a left wing bastion as you can get, other than Truth Social.
