In my case I’ve hated Harry Potter, skinny jeans and Tesla long before that became popular to do.
Twitter. Just never saw the point.
Car ownership, I guess.
Twitter. I always thought a text-based blog-like thing with a short character limit was a terrible idea.
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.
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.
One I hate that I am unsure of a term for but I call it “Family time” is when a show or movie makes everyajor twist revolve around the main characters family…
Star Wars is a great example that no one notices it in
Darth Vader is Lukes father Leia his sister
Both rolls could have worked without those twists
But it is far worse in other shows and series or even ruins them for me
Fringe was ruined by it imo
Slow horses is falling into this trap with season 4
It’s a cheap ploy to try and make the moment or stakes more dramatic by involving the characters in ediate family as ploys or villains. At the same time it just feels out of place most of the time that the entire world these characters are in revolve around 1 family.
So many shows use this trope but I don’t even see a proper term calling it out and at the same time it has ruined so many shows and just shows a lazy writing or plot narrative.
The author does not know how to write for the dramatic response they want the audience to have for the villain or ploy so they make some dramatic reveal that their family member was secretly involved making it more difficult for the main characters to make decisions or take action.

Fuck Drake
I hated Donald Trump long before he became president.
I didn’t had idea of who Donald Trump was till he was president. Can I say “If I knew who Donald Trump was I’m pretty sure I’d hated him.”?
I know it sounds trite but his hostility towards Rosie O’donell back in '06-'07 cemented my disdain for him.
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.
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.
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.
I’ve hated Harry Potter since the first book came out - someone lent it to me and I gave up after 100 pages cos it was shite and really badly written.
Is it finally safe to admit I was always more of a Twilight fan?
This is your safe place 😊
Hate hatred, I’m avant-garde in the West. 👀
No use or missuse of turn signals on roads. Furious.
You hated that before automobiles existed, or what?
my guess is a little bit before and for a minute or so after turning the curve.
I spent years trying to convince my friends and family that Elon musk sucks, and then he just went off the deepend. Im glad it’s widely known how much he sucks now, but damn i wish it didnt take so long.
Now if only people knew who Peter Thiel was
I disliked him back when he was that dick from PayPal cosplaying as an automotive engineer and pretending he knew more than actual experts.
I started to loathe him after the pedo guy stunt where he slandered a caving expert for pointing out Musk’s submarine was a death trap publicity stunt.
Plastic, the patriot act, AI, the internet, social media, I managed to avoid all platforms except Facebook which my spouse talked me into after months of trying to get me to join and finally deleted it recently, I kind of just hate tech in general, the never ending cycle of “upgrades” that actually make your life significantly shittier, competition, gender roles, giant SUVs, porn, extremely exotic pets, Tesla (test drove a high end model when it first came out and said it was like eating cafeteria food off a really nice tray and didn’t buy it) I’m sure plenty more… as an elder millennial the rise of the 21st century has just been so incredibly disappointing and shallow.
Many of these things and one aspect in common, they rely on either appearances or “trust me bro” level of empty promises. I was always told I was too skeptical and untrustful, but maybe it’s people that trust too much what a salesman is selling you. I’m of the idea that the good things are the one you discover snd enjoy, not the ones that announce to the whole world how awesome they are.
- reddit (I joined Lemmy years before most people reading this, and was already only lurking a couple of selected subreddits through an alternative frontend for years before that)
- Bill Gates (FOSS have hated that prick since 1976, but even I was hating their reputation laundering long before right-wing conspiracy nuts decided Gates was a communist vaccine microchip liberal or whatever)
- Musk, I guess. I was years ahead of the mainstream, but again, not ahead of socialist communities and environmentalists.
- and twitter, and BlueSky
Im not very familiar with bluesky and whats going on there (I know the basis of what it is but thats all). Why the hate with bluesky?
Yep, like JayGray91 said. BlueSky is beholden to the same problems that ruined Twitter. It exists as a business, not a community, and at some point it will try to cash in. It’s repeating history
The word ‘enshittification’ is thrown around a lot, but its original meaning is talking about a process that affects venture capital funded tech, and BlueSky is pressured to follow that process, unlike Mastodon, Pleroma and other alternatives.
On the hate of Bluesky here from what I understand: it’s just another twitter masquerading being open with almost impossible to run federation backenf if you’re not some big rich organization that will enshittify and it’s not mastodon
