Is bottom-posting some kind of kink I'm not aware of?
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 meet people from online.
Don't share your personal information online.
Yeah that's definitely not being followed anymore.
Don't give your credit card details over the internet.
Nowadays people have them saved in their damn browser for convenience.
Credit card usually isn't so bad. It's usually pretty easy to dispute charges etc, debit card on the other hand...no way that's getting saved

Social media, a gorilla getting shot, two US elections, and GenAI later, we have completely fallen off this one simple rule.
A/S/L should be replied when you join a chat room

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.
Typo: /FOUR/FOR/s
no, 4 is the exact number of evers.
Basic forum etiquette. It's horrifying at work seeing teams "teams" (forums) used like chats, all the cross-posting and thread necromancy, people completely unable to keep topics confined to the appropriate sub-forum, etc
You should use the Internet to get info out of it, not put your info there. If you do want to put info, it should never be traceable to you.
I just don’t get why people want so much of their life online…
