That makes a lot of sense. Sometimes I have a general question about life or something interesting I'd like to post for discussion but end up not posting if it's later in the day or on the weekend. If my old brain can remember or if I'm up I post right when the next days gen chat populates. I don't get upset if people don't see my comment or they don't reply. I believe people might read a comment and don't have to reply. It doesn't mean they didn't get something from the information. We are busy and a life outside of this awesome place. I've seen others post on a topic and say trying again not much traffic on post yesterday.
I've seen this happen to you, in particular, more than a couple of times. So yes, I hope the weekly works for these type of scenarios. Daily often failed to answer a LOT of questions. Absolutely it's biggest drawback.
Thanks for noticing. As a kid, teenager and young adult I used to get upset if people didn't hear me. Then along came social media and that didn't help. After years of that with Gods guidance I finally have learned to let things like this roll off my back. I really don't take things personally if I don't get upvotes, get downvoted or don't get comments. I comment because I want to and have made a handful of friends here along the way. Maybe people don't understand me or think I'm just here to chat when I can, IDK and there's to many more pressing things in my life to worry about it. I know my limits and just don't get on here like I used to. I have addictive tendencies and have the time to be here for hours 24/7 if I allow it. Nothing obsessive is good for anyone.
It's also really great for the mods actually because instead of seeing random comments from here and there all of them which we are looking at for sidebar stuff and if it's on topic to the particular thread, we can now just hang out with you guys, get a sense of how each person is individually instead of seeing it purely through the mod lenses
Love this! I'm in awe of anyone who sacrifices to moderate any open group online. It's not easy work! Blessings to everyone one of you.
