Would love to be able to schedule posts too 😁
Whilst there are no doubt tweaks that can be made, I don’t think the issue is as pronounced as my post makes out.
We’re talking about a small uplift of 14%. 4,523 sats during 9-12 EST, vs 3,978 sats on average other times. 24% higher specifically for 9-12 vs 3-6am EST (3,654 sats).
I still think genuine proof of work rises to the top.
I posted at just about the worse time possible last night and it still showed up in the top 5-10 posts by mid morning the next day.
I agree. Really good posts are likely to still get noticed.
Still, if there are easy ways to remove arbitrary penalties for posting at certain times, there's no reason not to.

I'm not sure I can completely agree with that. I've seen good posts and good comments (that have been made later on a post) languishing when early comments and posts get all the attention.
Also, if people don't bother commenting on something if it's deemed too old then I feel that is affecting the "life cycle" of posts as people can move very quickly on.

I especially agree with the point about good comments getting overlooked if they weren't made early. The little blue flag that indicates new comments have been made since you last read a post is helpful, but maybe there's another innovation to be had there.
