The comments that come with them

When a comment matches a rule you've switched on, Sence typically hides it within seconds and alerts whoever you choose. Replies are always sent by a person. Comments on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and your own site are read the moment they arrive. YouTube is checked every few minutes.

Create a rule and Sence offers to apply it to the last seven days of comments too, with a preview first.

A new rule offers to hide 23 matching comments from the last seven days.

Posting

Each story you tick in the RSS feed gets a poster from your template, and each channel's queue spreads the posts across its own slots, so posting more of your stories doesn't mean making more cards by hand. A story needs a photo unless the template uses a solid background.

Posts you publish through Sence go out to a comment section Sence is already watching.

When it posts, and who it's compared with

When it posts, day by day and hour by hourEvery day of the 12 weeks, every hour of the day and what it posts, beside the median of its peers.

We can't place Raw Story's posts in local time: its country has several time zones and its Page doesn't say which it's in, so it has no hour, evening or weekend figures.

Who is it compared with?Where each of its peers is based, and every one of them by name.

Raw Story's peers are 24 news publishers, digital-native newsrooms and news agencies in the United States with 500k to 5m followers: the same kind of title with a similar number of followers, from the nearest place that has enough of them. Its 24 peers, A to Z.
