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.
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 Feed the trolls
Stay anonymous
Don’t share your personal information online.
Yeah that’s definitely not being followed anymore.
Don’t be a dick.
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.
Don’t meet people from online.
Read -> Comprehend -> Post
Make sure you use the right type of search engine for the type of information you want.
Since when this was a tip?
Before Google dominated you had a different search engine for blogs, mp3s, warez, link pages etc. You also had directories where the content of the web was neatly organised by topic.
Never lived on this era but this feels life a fresh breath of peaceful life.
Bottom-posting eMails and Usenet posts.
Fuck you, Microsoft. Bottom-posting replies is the correct way to reply.
Is bottom-posting some kind of kink I’m not aware of?
Maybe it’s in the following example, or the inverse?

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”
Quote above, reply below was the eMail and Usenet standard from the 70s until Microsoft introduced Outlook, and more importantly, bundled Outlook Express with Windows in the mid to late 90s. Those were the first products that automatically top-posted by default, and especially on Usenet, you could almost always correctly identify an Outlook Express n00b by virtue of them top-posting.

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
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.
*nit picks
the rule should be that you don’t use your name until you’re like 35 and understand how to use it properly
