I don’t use it that way. There are plenty of people I disagree with who aren’t libs. But in this case I was talking about a specific group of conspiracy theorists who are active on Lemmy who are, general speaking, libs.
Lemmy.world is a predominantly liberal instance, not a predominantly Socialist instance. Most people here are liberals and just want to reform Capitalism into a healthier version of itself, rather than change Mode of Production to Socialism.

Didn’t mention capitalism, and I consider myself a socialist, but go off

You consider yourself a socialist but don’t like people criticizing liberals? Do words mean things?

Criticising liberal policy is absolutely reasonable
Using “the libs” as a catch-all term for “anyone I disagree with” is the marker of an incoming terrible take

Not the person u replied to.
Of course I like criticising actual liberals. I just don’t like criticising socialists who don’t like to go the tankie way whom u call liberals.
