    There’s not really a lot of actual socialists here. Tankies and accelerationists far as the eye can see, but surprisingly few socialists.

      Plenty of real socialists. Just filter grad, ml, and Hexbear, and the ratio much improves.

      There aren’t really that many tankies, they are just extremely vocal. I suspect a lot of them are actually alt accounts too.

        Leftists yeah, liberals it depends on the instance. The difference between those terms means a lot more here than on reddit. Plenty would argue successfully that liberals aren’t left at all but then we’re getting into anti capitalist theory which isn’t very practical in a capitalist society. But most lemmy communists seem to be of the Soviet and Chinese variety, so you know, not really communist at all but definitely anti capitalist authoritarian.
