This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This is seasonality.
Seasonality is a characteristic of a time series and refers to periodic and generally regular and predictable changes that occur over a year.
To make it more generic, drop the “over a year” and just refer to the periodic signal over time idea. You can find additional signals by how you bin the data, eg monthly or day of week.
Seasonality specifically refers to periodic signals over the course of a year. Any other interval means it's not seasonality. You can read that yourself in the definition you quoted.
I do this for a living. Seasonality as a generic term refers to temporally periodic signals but can even be extended to talk about non-temporal aspects of a signal. The same math used in areas like econometrics to remove periodicity in annual data can be applied to multiple domains. The main motivation to removing or isolating periodicity is to allow for investigation into the underlying phenomena, or to allow the investigation of the sources of periodicity independently of other drivers. In every case, though, seasonality is an acceptable term in everything I’ve written, read, and worked on.
Based on that EKG, the fediverse is in some sort of v-tach and blood is not pumping efficiently enough to have a pulse
It’s shockable.
I will go get the AED. Keep Doing compressions till I return.
Dude it's been 3 hours, where did you go for that AED? I don't mind continuing compressions, but my lips are really getting chapped.
Shit, we forgot to call EMS didn't we?
Looks more like v fib
It looks like a mix of both, but the widened QRS complexes are what I'm going off of.
I suppose the treatment is the same. I'll start compressions if you don't mind getting the defibrillator and drawing up some epi
I'll take care of compressions
This is neat to see, and also the case for every website and online game.
Most users are in US or western Europe timezones I would guess.
Although you could say the whole planet has a bit of a heart beat. Surely there are fewer people awake when the Pacific ocean faces the sun?
Definitely a high presence of US users and the occassional (western) European among all.
Most of the times they represent themselve through their instance.
But it's the same as with Reddit: Mentioning a thing without mentioning a country = US.
Ah, my favorite way of trolling when I felt like it. Dispute something and eventually go "Ah, sorry didn't know you were US specific with this" when I finally learn the revelation.

My guess would be this is one of the few major bots that ramp up its posting during Prime Times. I've been trying to use the fediversee for almost a year now and I check post multiple times a day, everyday. The vast, and I mean upwards of 90% or more of the post in my feed are just repost bots from Reddit or news aggregator bots. I'd be surprised if more than 10% of the post generated come from actual humans. I'm sure some of the server owners could give us much more insight on this with post by IP statistics. But my guest regardless is human interaction is pretty low.

I have the opposite impression, that's interesting
If you check posts that have low upvote amounts, (say 0 - 20) you are more likely to see this phenomenon, especially in the technology communities.
You can just block bot users when you see them. In my experience, it's not a big problem.
Turn off bots in your profile and then ban the two or three bots that aren’t marked as bots and your feed will improve immensely. I forget that there even are bots on this site until someone mentions it in a comment.
I come more for the commentary not the source honestly.
