old days of the interwebs is like late 80s/early 90s, before centralized game servers were a thing. On the rare cases of fully online games (original Neverwinter Nights and other MUDs and MMORPGs), mods and admins were known to enforce rules if they were online
Maybe what anon considers “normal” is early 2010s Dota/LoL/Heroes of Newerth, where winning meant getting called a “fucking cheating retard that doesn’t know how to play” and losing meant getting called a “stupid gay cunt retard n* piece of shit” and everyone was happy*
* everyone playing those games was absolutely miserable

Every server I played on even back in the 90s would most assuredly ban you for being sexist or racist. I must assume “back in the day” was after developer owned servers and random matchmaking existed, but before they actually moderated anything.

Even in the 2000s, many of the good servers on tf2 would ban for racism snd sexism. (Probably not homophobia tho). Gmod was worse for it, but there were still servers that didn’t allow it.
And it makes sense. Even if bigotry isn’t a problem to you, bigots tend to be really fucking annoying about it. You don’t often find bigots that are chill with it. When you cut the bigots, you cut like 90% of the shit disturbers that made the game less fun.

Every server of what? If you were on private serves, like a UO shard, perhaps, because GMs were very active in the community, although shards I played would probably just tell you to block users you don’t like. Lots of game had just a lobby for matchmaking and you connected to the person hosting the match, lots didn’t even have chat, it was just a list of available server, and only moderation was if the person hosting cared. Stuff with central servers like Diablo/StarCraft… was there even who to complain to? Back in the day you didn’t like someone you blocked the person or joined another match instead of crying to your mom.

Besides MMOs, you had Quake and other shooters. Games with player ran servers, thay very often had the owner of the server playing on it, if not other players with admin powers for it.

I was a line cook during old school Xbox days and the language I heard there made me uncomfortable.

I remember walking into a 50s-themed diners claiming to offer an “authentic experience” only to get banned when I called the waiter the n-word. Fucking liars.
