I'm not really referring to weight lifting at all. I've had people cricitize me for doing pullups underhand instead of overhand, telling me my ability to do 10 of them is only because I'm "cheating" by doing them underhand. Nowadays I do them overhand, but when I first started exercising decades ago, it was easier and more fun to do them underhand so that's how I did it until my fitness improved. The same thing has happened in consequence of some bro learning I do hundreds of pushups daily, but when I demonstrate it they criticize my not doing them "properly" because I don't go entirely to the ground on every rep. rolls eyes Then I went distance running with someone and they criticized my slow pace as being the only reason I was able to run so much further than them, that I'm doing it wrong because I run too slowly. It's important to ignore these folks, they're simply not helpful, and they're not saving anyone from injury. Keep your activities fun for yourself and you'll do them more often, and doing them often is far more important than meeting the expectations of others.
