Incorrect, the overwhelming majority of socialists uphold socialism as it exists in the real world. The USSR was run by the working classes, and was more progressive than the west when it comes to queer rights and especially women's rights. They had an advanced form of democracy outlayed in Pat Sloan's Soviet Democracy.
It wasn't the workers who ended the USSR, but a coup, the ones who led this coup being the modern oligarchs in these post-socialist states. The majority wanted to preserve it:
Lemmy was made and is developed by communists, if you're anti-communist you probably aren't going to like it here.
Lithuania having a large nationalist movement and a far-right resurgance doesn't disqualift that the vast majority voted to stay within the USSR. This is further proven by the dramatic drop in people supportive of capitalism in Lithuania from 75% right after the dissolution to around 50% by 2009.
We're very internationalist, there's a large community in the global south. It's still dominated by European and Statesian users for now, but thankfully it's more diverse than that.
