A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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.

In retrospect, I should probably just learn to read.
