Title.

I feel post-game threads make more sense to be bot-automated, due to the box score labor. But perhaps game threads less so.

I feel game threads in general aren't suited to Lemmy. I am considering hosting live game chats on Discord or Quebic (a "Signal-meets-Discord") for Lemmy NBA. I believe there is also already a Lemmy NBA Discord if I'm not mistaken.

I think the bot should do post game threads, for the most part, but if there's a game thread, it should be consolidated to "Game Thread for X Day" that includes all games that day.

This would probably produce the best results for activity entering the season.

The college football group has been doing one game thread, for watching and post game discussion. Especially in the regular season, I think this is the right call. Monday night games that aren't on national TV are going to get low to no engagement anyway. Splitting that discussion up to 2 threads will fracture the small discussion.

For the playoffs, I could see us wanting to split it up to game and post-game threads.

I would say I don't like the idea of doing game threads as chat only on other services. I want more in-depth discussion, and making us go to a real time chat system will make any real effort drowned out by the low quality chats of "Wow" or "That's Traveling."
