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?

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.
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

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?
Hard to get tone right in text, just saying it’s something you can do

Create your own community if you feel like that’s the case, nothing stops you from running your own ideal community.
Obviously anyone can make their own community. But why is that the default answer when someone makes a suggestion? Are we really that rigid and incapable of taking user feedback into consideration?

Very Elitist feeling eh?
Photos: Russia’s war in Ukraine crosses 500-day mark

I might be missreading this, but the way I’m using Lemmy is subscribed and ordered by new, making mega threads like this might mean I don’t see news about big developments. One of the reasons I used to use Reddit was to keep up-to-date with the news. I’m happy if this is just to group speculation and conversation. But each actually news worthy event should get its own thread.
If you are doing ordered by new, yes definitely it would not work. But these kind of megathreads work best when people order by active, which is the case when there is a very high post rate. Lemmy is not totally there yet but will probably be there very soon at the current growth rate.
What are you talking about? There are megathreads on reddit. Peole will still make posts about new events in the world news community. So it should work the same way you are used to.
Definitely agree
I’ve found ordering by new comments is a good balance. It means generally newer stuff gets put at the top of my feed, but posts with a lot of recurring talk do as well.
Zelenskiy brings Azovstal commanders back to Ukraine from Turkey
I’m glad to know of their return. These men are-were commanders and thus, high-value POWs. I assume Russia is very salty about this.
Has someone got a reasoning for this? It could make prisoner exchange more difficult in the future and while I am sure these guys really wanted to come back, having another few months in Turkiye was not necessarily a bad fate.
Is it that prisoner exchange are now much more in favour of Ukraine that they can do this?
I don’t think it’ll make things more difficult. Throughout the war prisoner exchanges has continued between the two. I don’t see this changing too much.

Why, what’s the downside to having a megathread like this? I’m new here on lemmy, I might be missing some information :)
Topical information often gets buried/harder to find because the algorithms that handle old, highly-upvoted comments are wildly different from the ones handling old, highly-upvoted posts.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone support megathreads, only oppose them or be neutral on them (like you).
