In my case I’ve hated Harry Potter, skinny jeans and Tesla long before that became popular to do.
The phrase “based off of.” It’s always been stupid. I’m still ahead of the curve because many people still think it’s OK. It’s not.
Apparently, the large gaps in stall doors. 22ish years later, a number of places around my region are finally installing stalls and floor to ceiling walls without gaps. Making eye contact while taking a shit was always awkward AF.
I guess TikTok, because I tried it once and uninstalled it. It felt like the app was using me, not the other way round.

Snapchat was fun back in like 2012-2015, didnt use it since.
Car ownership, I guess.
Twitter. Just never saw the point.
Google. Been trying to de-google for over a decade. Many of my random asks for alternatives have been answered with “just use google, it’s free”.
Biggest problem is phones because I hate Apple more than Google. Every 6 months or so I look into linux phones, but walk away unimpressed.
I think the best you can do for phones is get one with good hardware and put a degoogled ROM on it
Yea, I’ve checked LineageOS and a few others out, but my phone isn’t supported.
That’s what I get for also hating selfie camera notches/cutouts. Most of the phones I get aren’t popular models. If you know of one for the Nubia Z60 Ultra, point it out.
GrapheneOS on a Pixel phone. Immich self host as a replacent for facial recognition and albums on google photos

You’re trolling me aren’t you?
No, its a decent phone and GrapheneOS has degoogled everything and sandboxed play store if you use it. Storage spaces are sandboxed, camera and mic off switches. Lots of other security and privacy options, and 5 years of support
Still, it would be giving money to google, which I don’t want to do. Also it has a camera cutout which is annoying, ALSO in my original post I claimed whenever I talk about degoogling, someone ALWAYS suggests a google product.
No, I will NOT buy a pixel phone.
Buy used.
Its actually a loss for Google, they are selling a good set of secure hardware for a cheap price in hopes of gleaning your data. But yeah the notch is stupid, especially when icons fall under it.

There is lineage support now although it is still a bit wonky
Thank you for this! Most of those bugs wouldn’t bother me except for the no bluetooth audio. I’m going to keep tabs on this now that I know it’s almost ready.
I actually just yesterday pulled the trigger on deleting all my contacts and calendar info out of google and now they’re backed up to my webdav server.
The stock market. Only when society collapses due to climate change and whatnot the Western hoi polloi will realize it had become a cancerous pyramid scheme that eventually runs out of tissue to metastasize in.

✍︎ arscyni.cc: modernity ∝ nature.Twitter. I always thought a text-based blog-like thing with a short character limit was a terrible idea.
I always liked the idea of twitter but then humans human’d all over it. If everyone agreed to only use it for sensible things I’d love it so much. Useful announcements and updates and so on.
If I follow a singer for instance, I want to hear about concert announcements, album release dates and the like. I don’t want my feed filled with their opinions on global economics or hot dog condiments.
It sounds like you want an RSS feed of the singer’s events page on their own website.
In 2025, they might not have one because social media has replaced that (poorly), but in 2010 they probably would.
Why did you think it was a terrible idea?
Promotes lazy thinking that can be expressed in 240 characters and makes expressing the better mind much more difficult
The irony is not lost on me.
It encourages hot takes over nuance, or awkward workarounds like replying to your own post a bunch of times if you actually have something to say.
I still think it’s a terrible idea for something like that to be popular and have an important role in society, though its addition of images and video mitigate the problems a bit. I don’t know whether it significantly impacted the platform’s success and eventual sale price. $44B is a lot of money, so I can’t say it was a terrible decision from the perspective of its creators.
The Sims 4. As soon as that shit got officially showcased i was a hater. Felt gaslighted by the community for years, and now most people hate it too lmao.
X/Twitter/BlueSky I like long conversations with lots of information and while I use them now, it’s only because that’s where people post.
Myself.
Facebook, Twitter, “influencers”, most social media in general.
Lemmy (and Reddit) are social media, but my brain keys them more as forums rather than lumping them in with other social media.
I already had a strong reaction when the term ‘Influencer’ popped up. At first it sounded like a marketing term that felt more like an insult to label someone as.
Then people started proudly proclaiming themselves Influencers and it’s only gotten worse since…
felt more like an insult
I certainly use the term as a pejorative, hence the quotes in my original comment.
Russell brand, back when he was just a homeopathic, somewhat progressive pseudo-intellectual moron. I remember specifically avoiding Get Him to the Greek bc I thought he was a creep, didn’t think he’d actually be charged with SA though. His pivot to manosphere right wing bullshit doesn’t get enough attention, bc of worse people like Rogan.
Same, I disliked him even before the Andrew Sachs business. His stand up was gross. He hid his behaviour behind the veneer of progressiveness.
Always thought BBC Sherlock was boring and obnoxious
… do people hate that now?
Haven’t seen many people defend it since that hbomberguy video essay
Skinny jeans are hated by most people? Where? Like all fashion, it always has haters, of course. But I wasn’t aware of a peak wave of haters for skinny jeans
