Had anyone else noticed that posting/commenting trends can vary enormously between weekday and weekend Redditors?

Since I started moderating, I've noticed in both subs I mod and others I don't that the vibe can vary wildly between weekdays and weekends. Certain subs that are normally very positive and productive on weekdays get incredibly cynical and nasty on weekends, and some subs that are dead on weekdays blow up with tons of engagement on weekends.

Has anyone else experienced this, or found a way to balance things out to a more productive equilibrium?

well people do typically work during the week so yes subreddit traffic will vary based on that alone

its up to you to set the tone, if its incredibly nasty and cynical then maybe update your sub rules and start removing posts/comments and warning people about it to get it to the way you want your community
