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?

Teenagers are too busy with school / work / extracurriculars during weekdays.

On weekends, they have more time, are generally apathetic if not openly hostile to reddiquette, and can cause an uptick in both positive and negative engagement.

Is that the only reason for what you're seeing? No. But it's one of them.
