Liberals use the term to refer to anyone left of chuck schumer. Socialists and anarchists use the term to refer to authoritarians who cloak themselves in Marxism, Liberation, and Anti-Imperialism while perpetuating oppression through ethnic cleansing, mass incarceration, and wars of aggression.
Depends on the instance and community. I’m biased in what I see more often, but I’d bet on e.g. piefed.social you’ll see the term used more in the former sense rather than the latter, vice versa on e.g. dbzer0, and .world is a pretty mixed bag.
