Comments are happening quickly too, i think people would be ok with a 3 second limit.

Comments can happen quickly because they are folded under the root post so they don't fill Steemit's 'created' listing. If a bot can make a root post every 3 seconds that essentially renders the 'created' pages useless.

So if you consider a tweet as a root post that can be made every five minutes and all replies as comment under the root post with 3 second window wouldn't that work? or did i get it wrong?

Yes that would be a workaround. The discussion in the github issues was about should we use work arounds or change the limits.

Ok, i was thinking this is not a workaround but expected behaviour. Sorry for bothering you and thanks for your replies!

Your welcome. Basically on twitter everyone is shouting at each other with root posts and then twitter tries to make it seem like a discussion with the UI. I think it makes Twitter much less friendly. Personally i hope we can do better.
