Yes, indeed.
I kinda wish that we had a more diverse set of time zones. Some posters don't get as much engagement not because their content is bland, but because they post when Americans are sleeping
Just flew a few timezones to the east, so I'll be seeing things a bit earlier once I stop behaving like a whiney lil bitch and break this jetlag crap.

Interesting how would you adjust for that?

Not sure. The time decay on posts staying on top of Hot could be adjusted for time zone.... like things posted in the dead of night in U.S. time zones could be allowed to stay Hot for longer. It still wouldn't be conducive to real-time interactions, but at least people posting from overseas will get some more engagement, hopefully.

I would be interested to hear how this effects @ek and @sox who are both overseas

I go to sleep at midnight which is 5 pm in America/SN time (-7), and wake up at 8:30am (1:30am). I think that posts would still be in the hot feed by the time I wake up.
This is something that has been debated by social media platforms since forever, I think that major platforms have a catch-up algorithm for things in the home page, but it's kind of horrendous. We'd need to be really clever to not make this suck!

Is because SN is not using Bitcoin time zone but Texas time zone. Bitcoiners should adapt to use BTC time and not any other time zone.
