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 @smokinjoe@lemmy.world 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.
I dont remember being able to block people on irc in the 90s. Or maybe there wasnt a need to block anyone. Honestly cant remember anymore
In retrospect, I should probably just learn to read.
