Point being, all of us that are here are the ones cool enough to come here. We are unified by the desire for a better social media that is not-for-profit and user driven. And that makes this community unique compared to the scabs advocating for Reddit. The people who will belong here will come here. :)

A new PC is unlikely to get you a new public IP. If you have a router, that's what's receiving the IP address.

It may be possible to get a new IP by changing the router's MAC address though, if the model allows that. (There's no guarantee that it'll work, but it's fairly common for DHCP servers to save a mapping of MAC address -> IP adresses, so if the router's MAC address changes, you may get a different IP address.)
