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.
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?
No. /r/worldnews doesn't restrict discussion about the Ukraine war to a megathread.
They have the option to filter dominant topics, which we should to.
Confining everything to a megathread is stupid.
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.
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.
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?

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).
1/ A framed document apparently photographed in Yevgeny Prigozhin's house by Russian security force searchers sets out what appears to be the Wagner Group's founding 'constitution'. It's signed by Prigozhin (who's referred to as the 'Director') and Dmitry Utkin, Wagner's founder (the 'Commander').

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 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.
