Hmm, I think this is probably one of those issues where there's a difference between what makes sense to humans and what makes sense to computers.
The way it's working overall is that you have an initial post time, and then a length of time between repetitions of that post. So it's not really "post at 8 AM every Saturday", it's "post at 8 AM on this date, then wait a week and post again". The "a week" is a set amount of time that it's going to wait, and the fact that the time changed during that week doesn't affect how long it's intending to wait before posting again.
I'll have to figure out if there's some way I can address this, I think people are most likely expecting a particular time for posting, and not a particular time in between.

automoderator probably has access to the tz database[1] in its system.

You might want to add an optional argument where you can set the timezone for the DST, for example:
dst: Europe/Vienna
and act accordingly during those times that the time changes by adding/removing an hour to the wait time where appropriate.
