I’m curious, How were those killfiles different than muting or blocking on Twitter? Usenet was a little before my time.



It's like muting users. Or muting messages by topic. Essentially a more advanced and useful technology than any of the social networks offer today.


Twitter allows you to mute users, keywords, and I believe specific threads. Killfiles weren't more advanced than that.
