Is there really any scenario where a normal user should NOT be rate limited on posts or comments to some degree? Say, no more than 3 posts per minute? No more than 10 replies?
But when anyone can run an instance, you can’t control it. Someone has an instance which allows them to make as many posts as they want, and then all that content is federated to connect servers
Really though? You can implement the same limits for federated posts, and just drop the ones exceeding the rate limit. Who knows, might be frustrating for normal users that genuinely exceed the rate limits, because their stuff won’t be seen by everyone without any notice, but if they are sane it should be minimal.
The notice might still be able to be implemented though. idk how federation works exactly, but when a federated post is sent/retrieved, you can also exchange that it has been rejected. The local server of the user can then inform the user that their content has been rejected by other servers.
There are solutions for a lot of things, it just takes the time to think about & implement them, which is incredibly limited.
