I have always wanted Reddit WS to change to a longer duration for the smaller question auto-threads. So I'm all for a weekly question thread.

And yep, keep the SOTDs daily. fine with me.

I use an app to take the shave data that I' ve typed in and render it for either Youtube or reddit. I recently added lemmy and mastodon sections as well, so I don't mind continuing to post in all of them.

However, if I only have a discussion in one, and then later want to find it, it's a bit of a hassle to figure out where the discussion was.
