I think a lot of social network problems would be solved if platforms put an orange flag next to profiles that have posted more than 10 times in the last 24 hours, and a red flag next to profiles that have posted more than 60 times in the last 7 days. The total number of flags ever given to an account on the bio would be good as well. No other automatic action, just a visible flag or other symbol.

Being able to temporarily filter out profiles that post too many times (a setting you could change) would also be nice, but it shouldn't be automatic.

Not a bad idea. It may also be good to distinguish replies and reposts from unique timeline posts, with “reply guys” consistently being some of the most notorious individuals.

Bluesky has a “quiet posters” feed that I find useful.

It’s somebody’s side-thing, I think and not official Bluesky, but yes, that’s become my primary feed for Bluesky. Following is my secondary and I almost never look at discover or popular with friends.
