What if the whole "2 day blackout" was engineered to allow admins to test some new features with a protest being a convenient excuse?

I'm still waiting for my site-wide ban.

I've been IP banned like 5 times in the last several years.

IP bans fascinate me. Whereas I've experienced Reddit banning my username then I just go and make another username with a different email address, I have definitely experienced an IP ban from one particular redditor who I knew in real life and he apparently didn't like that I was interacting with him on Reddit so every username I've ever had would not let me interact with him on Reddit anymore. That was interesting to me. And I am curious how that works. He is tech savvy, so do you suppose HE banned my IP? Or did he request Reddit to ban my IP against him?

Hmm that's curious. Usually the admins do it and you can't interact with anyone at all. I'd say he just blocked you but if new accounts couldn't interact with him either it would point to him blocking your IP.

Hmmmmmm curious indeed
