I fled Reddit due to the authoritarian mod craziness, but Lemmy.world seems infested with too much Communist craziness. I’m leftist, but communism is idiocy. Is there an instance that leans more democratic socialist but refrains from going off the deep end?
Lemmy.world is actively opposed to Marxism and Communism (from moderator and admin POV).
As a side-note, all Communists support democracy, “democratic socialism” is usually ill-defined and meaningless, to one person it means the Nordics and to others it means Marxism without revolution, it only really hurts description.

To be fair, most people don’t support “Democratic Socialism” as a thing to begin with. Socialism is democratic, period, the idea that there’s a special subset of an already democratic system that’s especially democratic isn’t helpful.
Marxists, for example, already support democracy. The so-called “democratic Socialists” tend to support reformism, which is wrong and not any more democratic than regular Socialism.
Lol Cowbee is a well known Tankie, .world is anti-tankie, which are authoritarian “communists”
