Understand your engagement comment. I see the Daily as a collection of various topics all encased in a single post, but yes, if someone has bots blocked, it’s not an ideal solution.
Yeah, I feel that people blocking bots aren't trying to block a daily post like that.
I think your suggestion of timed posts (even without repetition) would be ok. Set up posts in advance, just make sure you line up some new ones every few days to stay ahead of it, then have them post at the time specified. Like a delayed post option.
If timed repeated posts were made from a mod’s account like yours ha, ha, would that be detected as a bot posting? I know a bot will be creating the post, but what would make it look like a bot posting rather than a manual post?
There is a flag on accounts to mark them as a bot. If you created a bot to make the posts, you don't necessary need to mark it as a bot... But that seems wrong.
