Limit number of toots per Hour

[gitbenb]

This may be a feature request since I don't find any mentions of limits in the code ?

My idea was to have some kind of limiter, queue, to have the bot to toot only x times per hour, most mastodon instance that allow bots (newsbots.eu or botsin.space) request bot makers to not overload the instance, I think a config param to control this would allow to make bots that are more user friendly and more respectful of the instance rules/code of conduct.

I just submitted a merge request #41 that imposes a random delay (between 10 and 30 seconds) between posts. This isn't exactly what you're requesting, but in my experience servers often ban bots because of rapid posts, not number of over-all posts, so your problem may be solved my code.

Assuming my PR is merged, the command is feediverse -d to cause a 10-30 second delay between posts.
