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?

I like Marx and am iffy about Lenin. I also consider myself a libertarian regarding most issues and dislike hedonism. That doesn't put me somewhere specific regarding ideology but that's that.

That would make you a libertarian ideologically. Though sadly the term has been co-opted by false neo-libertarian cultists. Most would label themselves libertarian marxists today to differentiate themselves from the dishonest actors on the right. I myself fall on that range as well. Though I am decidedly anti-lenin, anti-authoritarian.

yeah, i have taught my friends and family the true meaning of libertarian, but they still sometimes assume it refers to "an"caps.
