Recently, here on lemmy, someone explained Usenet in its days, and said that you yourself couldn't block others, but only ask the ISPs to. Isn't that "social" without being able to block others?

Besides, I feel like @[email protected] didn't want to suggest that you were not able to block others in the past, just stating what he assumed you meant, without evaluating.

In retrospect, I should probably just learn to read.

I dont remember being able to block people on irc in the 90s. Or maybe there wasnt a need to block anyone. You could ban/kick someone from your server but not from specifically messaging you. Honestly cant remember anymore
