That’s the medium zoom lens of an iPhone 14 Pro. I did post with Lightroom using Cobalt Films’ FujiFilm Acros+R profile. It was sort of hazy and the colors weren’t handling the dehaze settings well, so I decided to go monochrome.

Megathreads make a lot of sense, but I say that as someone who’d just route around them: I keep a tight rein on my news sources and have never considered this kind of site — whether it’s reddit, Lemmy, MetaFilter or other — a useful way to get current events precisely because each forum will eventually develop a character, and that character will influence the mix. Just plain old RSS to a select group of sites for me, with a content blocker to handle the inevitable bad comments.

Anyhow, I’d support weekly (or even daily) news posts that encouraged people to only start new threads within them on new topics (vs. starting threads with different headlines on the same topic).
