I agree. Something we’ll probably do in the next few weeks. We’re trying to figure out the right way to do this. I think we've settled on it getting exponentially expensive as you post multiple times within an hour. e.g. first post is 1 sat, next is 10, then 100 and so on if they’re within an hour of each other.
Great, exponential is a good solution. 1 hour is too short window no ? If the guy decides to spam garbage all day it will cost him 24 sats. Theory of course.

Another variable that could be added into the computation would be user trust. e.g. user with higher trust would still experience exponentially expensive posts, but either lower amounts, or the counter would reset faster (higher trust - resets after 1hr, lower trust - resets after a day)
But this may be harder to explain, so basic exponential backoff is probably better...

why not 24 hours and 1,2,4,8,… increments

They could have 60 accounts and post every minute for lowest price though.

On chain transaction fee to fund every new account? Although I guess if accounts can be funded with lightning...not a barrier at all...

Yeah ... We're not at this point yet, it takes time and energy. This problem will become critical when way more people comes
