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.

only 1 hour a day! And if you accidentally click on a wrong link, the hackers can backtrace you or send the internet police.

Sticking around and "lurking" for a bit before you try to engage with a new community, to learn the local etiquette before you make an ass of yourself. Or at least reading the rules as a bare minimum.

Yes! This is a big one that bugs me how often people don't even attempt this. Darn noobs need to lurk moar! It's basic netiquette.

Netspeak fluency has generally given way to textspeak.

Most of them. Don't believe everything you see, don't give out personal information or real-life pictures... the usual.

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.

Stick with the gopher protocol, http is too poorly implemented.

[-] Taalnazi@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Never disclose any real personal info.

the rule should be that you don't use your name until you're like 35 and understand how to use it properly
