You could say that this imperative is already present based on the loss of life and human suffering endured by those in need of more fair distribution of wealth.

Or you know, maybe they lie about the vast majority and tell the truth when no other option is viable. The clue with lying is that you do not want to get caught after all. Speaking of bias by the way, you clearly are quite biased yourself, mr. "citation needed or genocide did not happen".

Discussion of apartheid is definitely out of context in response to news about ending former discrimination. /s

From Beehaws docs on defederation:

We are simple with defederating: we do not allow hate speech, and we must consider our own limits when it comes to moderating. If an instance allows hateful speech or in our judgement has users who are too much for us to currently manage given the state of Lemmy, we defederate with it.

If the goal is to limit hate speech and provide a safe space on Beehaw, then I think you should defederate from the fediverse. I think however the value in providing a safe(r) platform for engaging with the rest of the fediverse to be more valuable, but I am personally in no need of such a safe space myself.

No, you said they could coexist, on which I disagree.

Socialism is a political philosophy and movement encompassing a range of economic and social systems[1] characterised by social ownership of the means of production,[2] as opposed to private ownership.[3][4][5]

Hard disagree. Capitalism with a handful of social systems implemented is not socialism.

You cannot even out the real inequalities without demolishing the capitalist class, pretty much by definition. If you want to make everyone equal part of the capitalist class, that is pretty much socialism by definition.

You are right and I think it is very much fair to be from the US and them posting and engaging with content they care about. However, the instance is lemmy.world and they could have called the community USnews or something or just written in the sidebar that it is focused on the US. What I find annoying of it all is the american exceptionalism.

Probably a good suggestion, though I do think it is weird that "news" should default to be US centric unless otherwise specified.
