    Isn’t this among the many reasons why people left reddit? Because mega threads limits discussions and are just terrible and lazy ways for moderators to heavy hand censor whatever they didn’t like?

      Moderators are doing their jobs for free, let’s not put stress on them, there are however dedicated communities for this specific topic.

        So we’re not allowed to disagree or offer our opinion on improvements? And the reason we shouldn’t do this is because it might… stress the mods? Sounds like that other website that I left for this one.

          You can join a different world news community without them, or make your own, that’s the difference from the site you left.

            Of course. No one is disputing that. But this unwelcoming attitude of “Like it or leave it” is gonna be the downfall of this community. Why are you all so hostile to constructive criticism?

          Create your own community if you feel like that’s the case, nothing stops you from running your own ideal community.

      They didn’t leave over that, they had Ukraine-specific subreddits instead. There are a couple decent sized ones on Lemmy as well.

      Megathreads are a good meet-up point for other sources of information

        They would just do a daily feed(instead of a megathread). Which could maybe be replicated here through a mastodon link. But as you said it did not restrict ukraine news.
