Asshole Design and Crappy Design
Asshole Design and Crappy Design
!asshole_crappy_design@slrpnk.net
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:
Related communities
Existence Rationale:
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)

Basic Rules:
- be constructive: there is no need of another internet space full of competition, negativity, rage etc.;
- no bigotry, including racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia or xenophobia;
- be empathic: empathy is more rebellious than a middle finger;
- no porn and no gore: let’s keep this place easy to manage;
- no ads / spamming / flooding, we don’t want to buy/consume your commodified ideas;
- occasional self-promotion by active members is fine.
