This community covers both asshole designs and crappy designs.
Discuss manifestations of asshole designs whereby the design is deliberately anti-consumer. Manifestations of crappy designs are also welcome in this forum, which reflect poor designs that are not borne out of deliberate contempt for the consumer.
Use of these prefixes is encouraged:
[a/d] ← you are confident that the design is an Asshole Design
[c/d] ← you are confident that the design is a Crappy Design
[ObD] ← Obsolescence by Design (a specific variety of a/d).
Unprefixed titles are useful if you’re uncertain whether the design is deliberate.
Rules:
Please avoid posting web-related designs. Instead, post those in:
There are other communities for Asshole Designs and Crappy Designs, but all of the communities at the time of our founding exist only on centralized instances. We are currently the sole decentralized community of this kind. (update: another crappy design forum was recently found in the free-world-- see related communities above)

Welcome to the nostalgia-filled piefed instance of yesteryear.
Open Registration with Application questionnaire.
If you have a question or comment you can post in !meta@retrofed.com or message @DosDude@retrofed.com or @Die4Ever@retrofed.com
In case of downtime and/or emergency, we will post updates on @DosDude@mastodon.social
Some rules we try to uphold:
Be civil. Bigotry is not welcome. This includes (but is not limited to): transphobia, queerphobia, racism, ageism and ableism. We do not promote hate.
Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)
