I strongly disagree with the decision to centralize all ukraine war news in a megathread.
That’s not how information is consumed on a medium like Lemmy. What you’re doing makes the topic invisible for the vast majority of users.
I think it should be a daily thread, not a single megathread.
is there enough activity for that?
Maybe weekly then until it picks up.
I just realized that this is an active thread, I thought the feed hadn’t updated since June 25th, as many other community feeds are intermittent or have multi day lags. Maybe have a daily thread or something to indicate aliveness?
I totally agree with you. This is a very inefficient way to share information, blending comments with postings.
The solution is to have the option to filter dominant topics the same way /r/worldnews does. We should do this in addition to having a megathread, again just like /r/worldnews.
Too many things happening to make a new post for every single event.
Dude this is over two weeks old already. The date in the title makes it look like it was a daily thread for that one day. You’re effectively hiding news from a large fraction of subscribers with this policy.
Yeah the megathread being so old is an issue. I meant a megathread being daily would make sense.
Ah, I just realised, I mistook you for someone else. I guess because of the vowel, I thought you’re @Ruud who runs this lemmy instance.
That’s why I wrote as if you’re the one making the decision - sorry.

I like how Prigozhin could just waltz in after the getting a pass for staging a coup. It shows how Putin has gone weak.

Lukashenko shares some more details about the day of Prigozhin’s mutiny.
He reveals there were no defense lines in Russia up until 200 km from Moscow (some regions are more equal than others?) and carefully chooses words to present Putin as a strong leader, while pointing out it was Lukashenko who did all the negotiating.

Looks like nafo has moved onto Mastodon guys!
Pro-Ukrainian talk has been hampered on Twitter, so its time to just spread NAFO-like talk to Mastodon. There’s no more benefit to using Twitter for this.
Russia’s kidnapping of Ukrainian children is not unique – Putin and others have long used children as political pawns:
Maybe they were just saving them from the Ukrainians who were going to eat them?
