I know there are similar communities like [email protected] about finding products that you don’t break after a year, and any number of buy<insert_country_here> communities. I’m looking for a community specifically for finding reputable products that aren’t sold on Amazon, regardless of where the seller or buyer is, and regardless of the ethos of the seller beyond making quality products.
Edit:
There’s also [email protected], but that’s more about general anti-Amazon sentiment than specifically helping steer people away from Amazon’s online retail monopoly.
I just buy most things in person. If that fails I do a web search and buy from another platform. So I’m not sure how much there is to talk about but maybe I’m missing something.
If you have questions or ideas/resources it probably makes the most sense to just post on the existing de-Amazon com, since the audience there is likely to be interested. With the size of Lemmy it’s important not to separate our communities that are too niche, or they won’t really fire.
