The manifestation of megathreads on Metafilter, and thus of this spin off, were summarized very well by zachlipton:

What is a megathread? It's a mix of US politics news links/summaries/quotes, commentary/reactions on the news, copy/pasted tweets, questions/answers about current happenings, short personal essays, experiences of offline action people are taking, political philosophy, state/local happenings at least one person cares about, complaints about the leaders of both parties, anxiety/The Justinian Current Panic Level/soothing, jokes/riffing, etc...While most of the megathread decamped to the PoliticsSlack, we're trying to see if we can have a community here too where things don't disappear after a month!
