The problem with using a bot is that people with bots disabled won't see it! I also just don't really like the idea, it seems so impersonal. Perhaps a good compromise is setting up the posts in advance with a post scheduling tool, so it's not a bot but my account still posting them.

Good idea with the scheduled posting. I gravitate to these kinds of threads, mainly as sometimes I don’t really have anything relevant to add to news or political posts.

If we're gonna get nice and structured, what's a good day to post? I've normally been aiming either for a Monday or Friday as I think people tend to have more to talk about just before or just after a weekend (normally pretty quiet on weekends themselves).

Thoughts?

Maybe Friday? People are generally more relaxed on a Friday than Monday is my thinking..

I've scheduled the next post for Friday. Don't seem to be able to schedule it reoccurring quite with the complexity I need, but I'll try to keep em stacked up so they arrive on time each Friday.

Sounds good. I'll set something up to try to get it consistent at perhaps 8am on Fridays.
