[ MACHINE CULTURE ]
The informal, community-enforced etiquette norms for behaving appropriately online — not double-posting, crediting sources, avoiding flame wars — that predate any platform's actual written rules.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Double posting like that is a pretty basic netiquette violation."
LORE & ORIGIN
A portmanteau of "internet" and "etiquette" coined as early online communities needed unwritten social norms distinct from any platform's formal terms of service.
