In my case I've hated Harry Potter, skinny jeans and Tesla long before that became popular to do.

              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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Yep, like @[email protected] 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
