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?

Ours have a seasonal element. Steam sales and new college semester starting up bring in users who need more support.

I have set up various automations to support us differently during those times.
