What are some of the rules about the Internet that were taught to you but are now completely ignored?

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.

Gmail is super annoying at this, there is no way to automatically turn this off. I just have to delete the ellipsis every damn time

I like to think I’m reasonably intelligent but whatever the heck Gmail does with its reply “conversation” order absolutely bamboozles me. It decides to just hide messages in the middle seemingly at random too, and gives them all reply buttons.

Agh!

I think it’s fine for email, better even. Unless there’s a list of questions or something. In forums and lemmy I don’t see it at all.
