Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Tools exist that can do it, but there's always a pinned post at the top of c/nz if anyone wants to post something or read something.

The problem with using a bot is that people with bots disabled won't see it! I also just don't really like the idea, it seems so impersonal. Perhaps a good compromise is setting up the posts in advance with a post scheduling tool, so it's not a bot but my account still posting them.

Good idea with the scheduled posting. I gravitate to these kinds of threads, mainly as sometimes I don’t really have anything relevant to add to news or political posts.

If we're gonna get nice and structured, what's a good day to post? I've normally been aiming either for a Monday or Friday as I think people tend to have more to talk about just before or just after a weekend (normally pretty quiet on weekends themselves).

Thoughts?

[–] eagleeyedtiger 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Maybe Friday? People are generally more relaxed on a Friday than Monday is my thinking..

[–] Dave 2 points 1 month ago

Sounds good. I'll set something up to try to get it consistent at perhaps 8am on Fridays.

I've scheduled the next post for Friday. Don't seem to be able to schedule it reoccurring quite with the complexity I need, but I'll try to keep em stacked up so they arrive on time each Friday.
