Beyond diluting it also seems that people are increasingly under the impression that internet rules are also the same in real life.
I’ve been seeing it come up in discussions about court cases where people are under the belief that requiring online personalities real names in the court documents is somehow illegal because it’s doxxing.
- ffsm8 7mo agoIt's just the usual millennials and zoomers finding out that their fantasies aren't actually how the world works Most of us grew up on the Internet, and consequently our world view is incredibly screwed and not particularly based on facts
- lovich 7mo agoI grew up on the internet but early enough that the phrase “the internet isn’t real life” was bandied about, which I think made it easier to understand the different set of rules existing.
- ffsm8 7mo agoIsn't that belief the source of the issue? The Internet is real life, that's why the judicial documents will cite the real names of the people, wherever they want to or not. There aren't different sets of rules, the real lifea rules apply everywhere. You may just also have additional conventions some people may follow online, too. Entirely optional and liable to go out the window as soon as there is a conflict
