What are some of the rules about the Internet that were taught to you but are now completely ignored? (discuss.tchncs.de)

For me, it was that the Internet never forgets and that you should never enter your real name. In my opinion, both of these rules are now completely ignored.

Don't believe everything you see. Actually I was taught that about TV, but for some reason the old folks forgot about it being applicable everywhere in life, not just on TV. They also forget about it on TV too.

Make sure you use the right type of search engine for the type of information you want.

There always have been the nick picks. But now sometimes there is barely any connection between the post and the comments. Like two people with multiple strokes distributed between them having an angry teams call.

Bottom-posting eMails and Usenet posts.

Fuck you, Microsoft. Bottom-posting replies is the correct way to reply.

German here, I remember teaching people email etiquette and reminding them: “No TOFU” (Text Oben, Full quote Unten).

Means sth like “text above, full quote below”

Is bottom-posting some kind of kink I'm not aware of?

The same people who warned us about the dangers of the internet and not to believe everything, are now the ones readily falling for and spreading conspiracies and lies from social media.

It's tragic.

I suspect now it was never about "don't believe everything", it's just been "believe what I believe". Which I suppose follows Nietzsche's thought on the transition from religion to ideology.

Don't meet people from online.

[–] distortwave@lemmy.ml 54 points 1 day ago

Don't share your personal information online.

Yeah that's definitely not being followed anymore.
