Hello newfriend, here's the explanation:
Bump is an online slang term for the practice of posting filler comments to move a post to the top of a discussion thread, increasing a message or thread's status and visibility.

BUMP = Bring Up My Post

Yeah, shared cooldown might be a bit too much, but there should be a set limit.
I'm sure some of the original requesters would spam the bump button without break.

Hi Devs/Admins/Mods/Members/Lurkers!

The main theme of this topic is, that the bump and +1 posts are getting out of hand with each passing day.

And it would be nice to get some sort of solution for it.

Would it be possible to make bumping a topic postless? For example, adding a "Bump" button, that has a 20-hour cooldown / topic and a +1 (I'm looking for this too!) counter button?
Obviously, commenting on the topic will bump it, but writing something just to bump it should get downvoted, thus getting negative karma / reputation, call it whatever you want.
On the other hand, if the comment is constructive, users can give positive karma/reps.

It's getting more and more time-consuming to scroll through endless bumps and +1s.

It would be nice to hear other opinions as well.
