Does a Reddit IP ban affect everyone in your house?

If it blocks your IP, wouldn’t everyone who came to your house get banned as long as they’re using your Wi-Fi?

I still miss it. It was a good entertaining time killer that has no replacement so far. I was in a lot of music and guitar subs that were fun to interact in

For me I found that it was full of people who desperately wanted to be right about everything.

I was banned from the 3Dprinting sub after posting a print in front of a 3D printer that was not the subreddit’s recommended printer and after I was called out for having “the wrong printer” I accused the multiple users of acting like they were in a cult. That resulted in a ban. Even my hobby subs were filled with unnecessary negativity.

There is much less content here but I fill it with as much interesting content I can because it’s friendlier here.

Don't listen to this guy he uses the wrong 3D printer.

I’ve committed the mortal sin of using a Flashforge instead of an Ender 3

Shh. The commies are gonna come after you for buying a bougie printer.

It’s such a cheap printer so get at me.

I bought a cr6-se so I can't say shit. It's basically an ender 3 with fairings.

Hey at least the fairings make it go faster

I'm suspect of their claim as I was in the 3D printing subreddit as well and never witnessed anyone suggesting the Ender printers were the printer to buy. They're just dirt cheap so many people buy them as a first printer, but even die hard Ender users will tell you they're not great to own without tons of mods.

I've definitely witnessed this phenomenon in other subreddits though (HomeNetworking > Ubiquiti, Headphones > AudioTechnica).

I don't doubt their claim. Redditors gatekeeping? Seems totally on brand to me.
