It’s fascinating how diverse the movement is in this regard. I’ve only found a single moral realist EA who had thought about metaethics and could argue for it. Most EAs around me are antirealists or haven’t thought about it.
(I’m antirealist because I don’t know any convincing arguments to the contrary.)
My impression is that many of the founders of the movement are moral realists and professional moral philosophers e.g. Peter Singer published a book arguing for moral realism in 2014 (“The Point of View of the Universe”).

Plus some who at least put some non-negligible probability on moral realism, in some kind of moral uncertainty framework.
Ah, cool! I should read it.
