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

If that account only ever logged in there, maybe? I'd think they'd be smart enough to look at the most commonly used IP address by the account(s) in question. Then again, it is reddit.

I mean, IP bans aren’t smart most of the time since dynamic IPs are a thing
