Often times when duckduckgoing (is that the right term for that) advice for products, I use the !ddgr key to directly search reddit for advice. But in a post-blackout world, I need to do this a lot less. So I want to know what the best places are to get reviews and advice for products that are human and not top 10 listicals.
Is there a buy it for life community here on Lemmy/Kbin yet? If there’s something like that, maybe asking questions here would generate some okay responses. It won’t be as immediate, but it would also help grow the amount of useful info we have in the fediverse.
There is.
Bless you, stranger

It can work for reviews but the old one just devolved into “look at this 70 year old pan I found”.
Yeah, unfortunately that was my experience there, too. I unsubbed after a while. I’m fairness, it’s hard to write contemporary assessments of new products based on their future longevity lol. Maybe we need a /c/ThingsThatAreRepairable instead…?
