Purpose

LiveDesk hosts real-time discussions of major events. Mods create megathreads for significant breaking stories. Users share credible links, official updates, and open-source data only.

How It Works

Mods post live threads for big events (disasters, official press, launches, major verified news).

Users comment in those threads with updates, links, maps, or analysis from trusted public sources.

Threads may be locked or archived once the event ends.
