Or you can go full Reddit and just block anything that seems even remotely suspicious.

Your sibling, roommate, neighbor that uses your internet, previous IP owner, posts too much? You get blocked too.

Using VPN? Blocked.

Your iPhone is too old, blocked.

Your screen brightness too low? Believe or not, blocked.
