- PeterCorless 3y agoExactly.
- foderking 3y agonot really. rate limiting is rate limiting. Its done to prevent abuse whether in the form of spam or unauthorised scraping
- slikrick 3y agoyes really. rate limiting reading to average users is completely different than rate limiting writing. the average user doesn't post, so it's already impacting a completely different demographic
