pilled
Grew fabric balls
Pilled describes fabric that has developed small fuzzy balls on its surface from friction and wear: This old sweater is getting pilled.
In internet slang, pilled means having adopted a particular worldview or ideology, from the "red pill" metaphor in *The Matrix*—often combined with a modifier: blackpilled, breadpilled.
Someone who is pilled has been converted to a belief system, for better or worse.
