Views on Over-posting?
Hi Tildians,
As a chronic over thinker, I just realized I have held off of sharing a number of cool space articles to ~space because I didn't want to spam posts and couldn't decide which one was cooler.
So, I figure I should ask: what's our consensus on over-posting? Is there such a thing? Should I just let my adhd loose and share all the cool space news I see?
I wouldn't sweat it. This community wouldn't exist in its current form without awesome people posting what they wanted to share. And I'll always be up for some space news!
If you ever feel like there's too much to post, you could make a weekly megathread for yourself, maybe. Something like "The Aerrol Hour, available on-demand every week!" lol
just post and we'll tell you if/when its too much. After a few days you'll get an idea of how many posts and which topics are getting the best response / interest from the community. My guess is that it'll be two or three a day, but it could be more... and it might get others into posting more frequently, too.
I don't think any (or at least not many) people would care about 2 or 3 in a short period unless you're doing it constantly. Much more than that and it's probably going to be a bit much given the overall level of activity here. I don't think it's even necessarily a "spam" thing as much as you'd just get fewer people engaging on each thread.
Space!!
Try a Cool Aerrol Weekly Space (CAWS) thread ? Then you can spam top level comments on as many as you want for each cool thing you want to share. Weekly is most definitely NOT too many, and it'll be extremely easy for the odd space hating person to hit Ignore once a week.
I'd like to submit my subscription application for your space newsletter
Seconded to the newsletter subscriptions!
