So many words and you missed the most important one: "netiquette"

That's the whole point: the word exists precisely as a testament to something that used to exist but now doesn't.

Anybody old enough to remember the word when it was common use should realize that it would have been impossible for the term to be coined in 2026.

If you missed that part of the Internet (maybe you were too young or maybe you were focused on other things, like the vast majority of people in the 90s), that's totally fine, but plenty of us did experience it and remember it pretty clearly.

> Usenet, forums, Reddit, comment sections, and every other social part of the internet have been full of bad behavior long before Facebook came along.

You can tell approximately how old someone is by whether they have reached the "everything sucks" part of life yet or not.
