I go to sleep at midnight which is 5 pm in America/SN time (-7), and wake up at 8:30am (1:30am). I think that posts would still be in the `hot` feed by the time I wake up.

This is something that has been debated by social media platforms since forever, I think that major platforms have a catch-up algorithm for things in the home page, but it's kind of horrendous. We'd need to be really clever to not make this suck!

I would be interested to hear how this effects @ek and @sox who are both overseas

Not sure.  The time decay on posts staying on top of `Hot` could be adjusted for time zone.... like things posted in the dead of night in U.S. time zones could be allowed to stay `Hot` for longer.  It still wouldn't be conducive to real-time interactions, but at least people posting from overseas will get some more engagement, hopefully.
