    We are considering switching from these explicitly Ukraine/Russia focussed megathreads to new discussion posts/megathreads that are centered on my daily updates, which will continue as they have always been - focussed on the war, but also considering other parts of the world (and you can obviously comment what you want on them, same as on here, they don't have to only be what I've said).

    If you DO want this to happen, then upbear this comment. If you DON'T want this to happen and want the megathreads in their current form to continue, then upbear my reply comment.

        For what it's worth, the post is always pinned to the top of !news@hexbear.net, even if it's not featured site-wide. We can only feature two posts at a time, so it can't always be up there.

          There’s no way that’s going have as much engagement. Including a link in mega thread post won’t work because it is always a cluttered mess with the emojis. I habitually ignore it myself and I’d guess plenty of others would as well. If a third pin can’t be added to the main page, just have the second pin be a clean short list link collection (Current featured posts, or something like that).

          In retrospect, I should have also asked what people thought could be improved (megathread, my posts, anything) and also realized that some people would probably vote for both, but alas, I have made my bed and now I'm lying in it.

            I really just wish your update comments could just be pinned as the top comment in the thread

            I find your posts and the megathread as they are extremely useful. Your posts weave a web of all the international events going on and the mega thread allows us to discuss how it is all being effected by the war and vis versa. (How you get all the links for your posts is slightly confusing though. When do you sleep?)

              How you get all the links for your posts is slightly confusing though.

              RSS feeds, a $12 per month subscription to make it possible to go through 24 hours worth of ~40 media sites' content in 2-3 hours, and some good background music.

              When do you sleep?

                You should have some sort of donation link set up, that's a lot of work.

        Since it's hosted on Gitea, we could absolutely open it up to other collaborators via pull requests

        I agree, it feels like a lot for one person to do for free when news websites just have some aggregator robot do this stuff.

      I do, but I find it a bit odd that we have a news aggregation megathread on a news aggregation site (or at least, that's what Reddit was supposed to be, which this site copies it's format from).

        It keeps the number of posts down and allows a continuous discussion of the overlying topic. It makes sense to me.

        I've seen this done on Lemmy where it's split up and the end result is you have an avg of 0 comments per thread. It's visually overwhelming and ironically discourages participation.

        MoA does similar aggregate posts to these.

          Yeah, definitely. Lemmygrad already has a problem of too many communities. Most of the time, people just want to have a conversation in a community.

      In general I think it makes sense to have a more 'serious' news focused megathread alongside the usual casual conversation type one.
