Does a Reddit IP ban affect everyone in your house? (lemm.ee)

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

Correct, and they could technically be at risk of getting their account banned if they consider those as possible alt-accounts for ban evasion too.

What if somebody at, let’s say, a Starbucks gets banned, would every costumer be at risk?

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
