    It's interesting to hear your thoughts on securing your platform. It all makes sense - phone numbers, social logins, tracking - from the platform perspective, but these are all things that I'd absolutely try to avoid like the plague as a user. Not for nefarious reasons, just for privacy protection/anonymity. Regardless, I love the dogelogs, keep up the good work!

    The IP ban and IP sharing thing is even worse. There are providers that save up IP adresses by using carrier grade NAT. So a IP ban could not only affect a whole building but even a whole street or more.

    If you want to go real-secure on the hashing, use an algorithm that allows salting. A small string of random characters that is different for each user, so that even if a secret salt is leaked, it will only affect that one IP. Also makes bruteforcing basically unfeasible.

    Why don't you make whispers off for everyone by default and when a person whispers you, you get a request saying that x user is requesting. It could last a day until you have to request the user again. If they say no, disable the ability to whisper to that user (and in case the person receiving puts "no" by mistake, they can just whisper back to let them both talk).

    For the IP hashing you can't calculate the hash every request, otherwise you'll spend most of your compute on hashes. You'll need to use a table.
    In that case, you might as well generate random IDs for each IP and give those out. In either case if the DB is compromised you're done anyway, but with random IDs at least you'll have forward secrecy (bc they are random)

    What I think about the spammer feature is that the time should increase gradually if a user is trying to spam. For instance, the follower will wait for 30 minutes and then he/she will be allowed to send messages even after those 30 minutes if that person is still spamming then we should check the number of messages he or she is sending per second / minute and based on that dynamically increase the time for another 30 minutes or 60 minutes or 60 days or 60 years.
