Is my ~~one cell in Libre calc~~ back of the envelope math right - that's about one post every two minutes? Is posting not throttled to avoid this?

To be clear, nearly all of these posts were caught in real-time. So while we don't necessarily have an explicit rate limit that prevents people from trying to post large volumes, that doesn't mean that the posts (or comments) actually end up on the platform. We try to be very transparent about the volumes.
