I have noticed a huge difference between Lemmygrad and Lemmy.ml in terms of what kinds of theory gets upvoted and downvoted. What is the general vibe on here towards actually existing socialism as well as the ideas towards reformism?

A lot of the socialists on Lemmy.ml are MLs (hence the domain) and many of them are authoritarian leftist or at least sympathetic to the authoritarian reformism of that of Stalin. I personally prefer the Beehaw socialism community as it is inherently anti-authoritarian. Lemmygrad is a tankie infested cesspit with brainrotten propaganda regurgitators who have never read theory and struggle to fit the definitions of Leftists.

... in other words, Behaw socialism (lemmy.ml too) is Trotskyist, origin of many a Neocon: liberal socialism at the vanguard of Western imperialism against the array of global socialism ranging from Bolivarian in the Americas to Maoist in Asia. "Global" as in Global South, all authoritarian to a Trotskyite, in need of liberation.
