It would [still] be really cool if this opened between 7:39-10:39 in the user's local timezone.

#92Going perhaps even further in this direction, the 3 hour window could shift by an hour every day. All the other solutions I see to the time zone problem are pushing the idea in the opposite direction, back a little toward normalcy, and have their own problems anyway (eg power users who just run multiple accounts and are the ones doing a lot of posting).
A shifting window would be even more "slow internet". Of course it would be a different vibe; you'd have stuff to catch up on the days it's in prime time for you. As-is it seems like it'd have more of a real-time vibe.

#94Not bad, availability is pretty low but how about gratification?
Is it delayed enough on there?

I love this idea. The eclipse is coming around again. Don’t miss it!

#96If it’s EST fixed, it is a biggest feature and should be in the name; “for US East Coast”, so you don’t mislead rest of the world.

#97Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why should it have “diverse and worldwide perspectives”? Must a Muslim site be open to all Christians? Must a Japanese site admit me even though I don’t know Japanese? Should a site for Ukrainians be forced to allow Russians? I do think of this as an opportunity for you to create your own site that meets your standards, however.

Not everything has to be political. Can we go even 5 minutes without someone turning a discussion to focus on Elon?

#98Time zones are a problem. It will be 5am for me next time this will be open which is too early but since it opens for 3 hours, I might be able to check in for the second half of the remaining time.
This is a huge problem that could be solved by using local timezones instead of just EST.

#99I've definitely considered trying to create a social media website that only allows you to connect with, say 150 people (Dunbar number), and only allows you to make one or two posts per day.
i would pay for this

#100I think the timezones issue can be solved by the user just initially picking their timezone and it stays sticky and you can't change it (maybe for a fee you could = some income for hosting...). The nice part would be that people from 3 timezones would be vibing together for 1hr...
