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.
(Except other dogs, and we meet every night on irc:#awoo)
This shit’s still true. I bet you’re taking me seriously as you read this and everything.
Me too, thanks.
Don’t pick up the phone if someone is online… I’m old
I can’t remember. Did it make pterodactyl noises or is that just faxes?
oh yes it made the noise.
I was taught to cite websites by using the date the page was updated. Now I’m lucky if web pages even have a date on them.
Oh, that one’s easy! Just use the internet archivenevermind.
Either that, or the page says that it’s been updated in the last month, but the content is about how to connect to the World Wide Web ‘(WWW)’ with a free AOL floppy disc
When you share something cool, link back to the original creator or where you found it from.
Don’t be a dick.
Don’t share your personal information online.
Yeah that’s definitely not being followed anymore.
Social media killed online aliases and I have a hard time deciding if we’re all worse for it.
Instinctively I still stick by that, though, as you can tell by my anonymous profile with no bio, but when I volunteer any amount of personal info these days people are often confused that I’m not sharing openly who I am or where I’m from. Every time someone does that it weirds me out because in the 90s telling (and asking) people those things would have been such a suspicious, sketchy move.

a/s/l?
Aight, I put on my robe and wizard’s hat.
Facebook tried that shit with me. Ban until I sent verification of my ID so I sent a paystub photoshopped (badly) with my alias, it was accepted and it’s still there even though I left FB years ago.
I wish they would ban me. I haven’t logged in in over 15 years and even block several of their servers, and yet I still get mails that someone in there commented on something.
Oh I get zero notifications, but the only real reason I haven’t taken it down is that my posts from IG are cross posted there for the business, which I have to have to advertise our specials because of the boomers that use it daily.
Then: Don’t download applications and run executables you don’t fully trust.
Now: Download everyone’s new snazzy app just because and scan everything with your phone that contains all your most private information so you can unlock a surprise!
To be fair computer security have improved a lot. These days if you have up-to-date security patches it’s very hard for apps or webpages to escape the sandbox.
By the way you should download and execute this free_robux.sh as root it will give free robux no scam
Of course. They just ask nicely to be let out, and everyone clicks “allow” reflexively. If you don’t see anything weird, nothing weird could be happening, right? /s
Don’t Feed the trolls
On the Internet I grew up on, pretty much anything was ok except to discuss (or even speculate about) the real-world identities of users who didn’t very openly disclose them.
Now many people think the latter is ok.
the Internet never forgets
this one goes both ways, if someone is doxing you, it’ll be online FOUR FUCKING EVER, but if it was a cool website/funny meme/ good software, it’s probably on somebody’s downloads folder, but it can easily disappear and you’ll never see it again.

I am desperately trying to find a video from last week but I’m very likely am never going to see it again
I’m guessing you also had it on your screen, then when you unlock your phone, it showed for just enough time to recognize it, but not enough time to react and open it to play it, then facebook or youtube auto reloads you to the homepage without warning.
It was a 30 minute long video, I watched it last week. I searched and searched in my PC and phone youtuve history but can’t find it.
It had a bit about how every part of a supply chain is trying to leverage its position for dominance, and that this shape the end product
The first rule of usenet.
I remember being taught in school to apply source criticism, and that seems to have largely died as a concept.
This was back in the early 2000s…
Don’t feed the trolls
but then I post on lemmy.world and get so so many repliesThere 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.
