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.

Never trust anything you read on the internet
I’m sceptical of this
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.
1.0 ratio is the low bar, leech
Don’t share your personal information online.
Yeah that’s definitely not being followed anymore.
When reading a long text, disconnect from the internet as soon as it has loaded so you don’t pay for the time you spend reading.
I remember doing that to read and write my answers in forums. Then someone had already posted the same comment or a better version.
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

Netspeak fluency has generally given way to textspeak.
If I recall correctly your mileage may vary because I anal?

Never click an ad
It’s easy for people to understand with banner ads but sponsored links seem to trip them up.
Nothing that happens on the internet matters.
I mean… I feel like this could still apply 😅
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…
Internet is a proper noun and should always be capitalized.
Well, if The Hawk says it’s all right…
THE Internet is a proper noun.
AN internet is an network of networks and is just a thing; like an intranet is.
This is the pedantry I came here for!
I never knew this until I realized my phone capitalizes it automatically.
Dont believe anyone on the internet.
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe that you don’t believe me
That’s my favorite Charlemagne quote
Boomers are still alive, so literally all of the rules ever as fast as possible.
Special standout for “dont believe everything you read” - “Well fuck you Ill believe everything without thought”
(Except other dogs, and we meet every night on irc:#awoo)
Me too, thanks.
This shit’s still true. I bet you’re taking me seriously as you read this and everything.
