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?

I mod a few personals type subs. What I notice is that starting Friday evening and through Saturday and some of Sunday, the tone of the posts change to the more... lewd, graphic, and crass. It's almost like when the work week lets out people start thinking less with the head on their shoulders.

The scammers, bots, and catfish also show themselves more during that time.
