limited posts per IP per hour (lemmy.ml)

Apparently 6 posts per IP per hour goes over the limit. However, just changing my Tor circuit enabled me to post my last crosspost.

Should quotas be per-user not per-IP? Some people may share the same IP in a legit manner after all. Also, should crosspost count as posts?

Idk why there is a 6 post limit in the first place

that's not how you fight spam, lemmy needs users and We should not "scare" them. Limiting threads just de-incentivize people to remain here

Also if you're at University you share the same IP with many people, I know that lemmy isn't that popular but isn't the good mindset for fighting spam

6 post per hour is too restrictive in the first place. Maybe a post each 15 to 30 seconds is better.
