We're talking about temporary bans here, which do work against spam. Private users do have dynamic IPs, but at home I think I've had the same IP for years. They don't wildly switch them around.

On second thought the IP is probably not federated though, so if there isn't a common IP block list which instances subscribe to it won't work.

Every time my router restarts I get a fresh wan IP. I can also manually grab a new one via the DHCP release/renew functions in it's config page.

Lucky you. My ISP grants a new IP every 6 months or so. Even charges extra to keep it static -.-

Weird, are you 100% sure? I can restart my router all day, my ISP gives me the same IP back pretty much every time.

Probably depends on the ISP.

Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
