And then my modem reconnects and I get a new IP that used to belong to some insufferable asshole, and suddenly I’m blocked / blackholed / shadowbanned everywhere and some vigilante is flood pinging me.

Bingo. IRC tried the strategy of banning users by IP and half the time you'd end up k-lining entire countries because their ISPs were too cheap to buy more endpoints.

Maybe in the 56k days, but my DOCSIS ISP rarely re-assigns IPs.
