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.

    I’m with you on the no real names, no nudes. “Don’t dox yourself” was the norm pre-Myspace. Facebook made it almost fashionable to do so.

    I’m fine with shorthand and colloquialisms, especially in the era of the smartphone and their lack of physical keyboards.

      It made sense with t9 texting. Smartphones have easy to use keyboards and autocorrect. No reason to still type like you have to make 7 or 8 key presses to type “you.”

      It wasn’t even cool once t9 emulation came in. But writing with no regard for the audience, that’s apparently eternal.

      Put in the effort or eat the down-votes.
