Personally, I would prefer if this kind of function happened at the feed curration level instead of the posting level.
If I could adjust a “User post concentration” setting, I’d say it to down-weight posts by any user within 12 hours of their last post by 50%, and stack this for further posts within 12 hours.
Then I’d adjust the timing and weighing as necessary

I only have one user blocked on Lemmy, and I think it’s who you’re referring to.

No. More posts create more conversations, no matter how stupid they may be. Just skip the ones that don’t interest you.

“more posts create more conversations” has a logical end point, where the sheer volume means more time is spent skipping over uninteresting questions than time spent on answering the interesting ones. At that point, people with answers would rather spend their time elsewhere.
Curation is moderation by another name, and it is hard at scale. The solutions that work for communities with a hundred followers will not work for communities like this one with 49,000 (!) subscribers.

And I suggest we come back to this when Lemmy is at risk of having too much content.

Yeah because when a place not only lacks content, but on top of that most of it is shitty spam, it makes people want to engage a lot more, right?

About as much as a sarcastic condescending tone.
Shitty spam is already against the rules. If you see it, report it.

This post is literally about amending the rules to block the kind of shitty spam the discussion is about. Your argument is to not change the rules because there are already rules?

Actually, this post is literally about “should there be an X per Y post limit on users”
Nothing about redefining “shitty spam.” Just post limits on all users.
If you want to have a conversation about how to deal with the one person who submits 80% of all posts in this entire community, I totally understand that. But a post limit isn’t the answer. Besides, it’s not like anyone else is competing for that space on the boards.

3 per 12h.
Anyone spamming more than that can create their own, “spam stupid questions” community.

There should be 5 posts per day per user be default for Lemmy as a whole. It’s really irritating when my feed is back to back garbage from anyone, not or otherwise. Some people need to touch grass

that would destroy new content on the fediverse.
like 2% of the users here are posting 90% of the posts.

Wouldn’t spammers and bots just make multiple accounts, making the rule work only against normal people?

Would people like a “X posts per Y” rate limit per user for this community?
No, people would not. It could be a tool for moderators to curb spamming but I don’t see that being more effective than existing moderation tools.

World you like to have a timeout between questions in this specific community?
