Use the leaky bucket algorithm to rate limit irc messages.
draft 2.x.y-irc-rate-limiting
2021-02-24, Gary Kramlich

Use the leaky bucket algorithm to rate limit irc messages.

The default values were suggested by an operator of freenode.

We don't rate limit the login process, nor parts and quits. However, if you
paste a bunch of text and then part a channel, you will be spammed with a
bunch of "no such nick/channel" error dialogs. I tried to work around this,
but the alternative just makes irc unresponsive until all the pasted messages
are sent. That said, other messages are still delayed while these errors
dialogs are slowly popping up.

[Description]
Pidgin allows you to talk to anyone using a variety of messaging protocols,

Gadu-Gadu, and Zephyr. These protocols are implemented using a
modular, easy to use design. To use a protocol, just add an account using the
account editor.
Pidgin supports many common features of other clients, as well as many unique
features, such as perl scripting, TCL scripting and C plugins.
