I got banned from Reddit for making jokes about eating rich people. They warned me and temp banned me twice before the permaban. It was over like 6 months too, which means I don’t learn lessons and have a tendency to make those jokes often.
No regrets.
They also banned my wife and my downstairs roommate. I assume for being on the same wifi? Or ip address? Or something? Idk they were mad but I like to think I helped them in a way.
Makes sense since their shit hole servers only support IPv4. You were all probably NAT’d to the same IPv4 address.
I don’t know computers, but sure. I bet you’re right.
We moved away since then and my wife made a new account that hasn’t been banned. I considered trying it but I’ve been rebanned almost immediately when I tried before on the last one and I worry if I try again they’ll ban me and everyone on my wifi again.
The simple explanation is that on IPv4 it’s 99% probable that it’s the case that everyone on your home network appears as the same IP address on the internet. With IPv6 it’s possible but highly discouraged, each device would have its own IPv6 address (though it might still be obvious they’re related).
So yeah, it really does seem like they’re hating on your home network.
