How would you differentiate between a topic that deserves to be separate versus a topic that best fits as a megathread?

I've mostly been to forums that favor the latter format so that's what I'm used to (and why I made a group for it that is looking for participants, it's like making more flexible communities within communities, a federation inception), but I was wondering where you would draw the line.

IMO megathreads are a way of suppressing news. They should only be used when a topic is actively drowning out all other discussion.

If you've received more than three threads about the same topic in two days, make a megathread.
