Is there an instance for Democratic Socialists rather than Communists? (lemmy.world)

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?

I'm pretty sure they were attacking people over their stupidity in falsely equating Harris to Trump and the comparative damage they'd have for not just the genocide in Gaza, but also Russia's genocide in Ukraine. Anyone who felt they were the same deserves many "🤣" for their performative BoTh SiDeS grandstanding.

Right on cue, one of the other notable genocide supporting trolls comes out of the woodwork to defend his bud.

As so easily predicted, immediate deflections away from the most clear-cut logical and ethical choices anyone could possibly make. Trump thanks you for your service, you good little accelerationist, you ;)

Edit: not sure why you deleted that. Also, I read that book. And Blowback. And A People's History. Ever read The Shock Doctrine?
