Opinions on democratic socialism?

Question

Self-explanatory, really.

How do you define social democracy versus democratic socialism, personally? Any good ways you would introduce this to a 'newcomer', of sorts?

Thanks all! :)

I'm speaking as someone who realistically probably falls under the democratic socialist umbrella, but I value the importance of social democracy, and want better ways of exploring the differences to others. Especially given how similarly named they are! I've heard them conflated in even broadly left-wing places.
