Yes, any suggestions?
I’m just going to copy a comment, because it looks like the crosspost didn’t update the edit from the original post…
Copied comment:
buyitforlife is a fantastic community, but I’m not sure it fits what I’m talking about because it’s kind of specific to exclusive products that are meant to last. I’m imagining something that’s covers a more broad range of products. Stipulations might include things like:
-reviews
-design speculation
-improvements
-collaboration
-development
-creation
-also, no sponsored/commercialized products!
(development and creation are super ambitious, but I’d like to include them just because)
I’m very analytical about product design, especially when it comes to electronics and technology, and I like to imagine ways that things could work better or be designed better. I just think it would be cool to have a place to discuss things like that. I also feel like it can be difficult to trust reviews that come from one source, so having a federated collection to start building might be a really useful resource
That’s kind of why I think there would need to be certain rules like ‘no sponsored content’
I’d like it to be for products that people like, but maybe just need some help being improved (or just having fun speculating about how it could be better maybe).
I’m thinking generally about electronics, because I like tech stuff, but I don’t see a reason to limit it to just that category. The idea of a federated review system is kind of what I’m getting at, with the posibility of encompassing things like design, collaboration, speculation for ways to improve, (repairability would be a great thing to cover as well, but I’m not extrememly savvy when it comes to repair!)
I think that a federated library of product reviews/discussions could be a great resource.
I agree, Kbin’s naming conventions are off-putting to me. Now you have FB’s claim on ‘threads’ too, which just adds to the confusion even more…
Glad to see this being shared, this is the type of content the Fediverse needs.
That water looks pristine! Is it dammed up, or is the perspective playing tricks on me?
Did they do something bad?
“This is a 100% open source effort, so you could even roll your own, if you want.”
For sure, can’t wait to see how this comes along and the useful functionality it will hopefully provide!
Awesome! Thanks for the update, I’ll check it out 😁
Thanks for the dogtraining one. That’s probably what I needed
I mean yeah, maybe it won’t affect me directly, I like the instance I’m on and it’s a pretty respectable one. However, indirectly, this is very relevant to any Fediverse user, regardless of the instance or platform they’re using. Allowing abuses like this to happen without any pushback is a surefire way of turning this place into a shithole just like the rest of the internet. I appreciate the fact that, at least for now, it’s different here.
Also, maybe this isn’t my only homebase? Just saying.
I was under the impression that DM’s on Mastodon (and Lemmy too) weren’t ever stated as being secure and I think that they were both pretty transparent about this particular aspect.
Yeah, we’re trying to get the fuck away from algorithms. That’s what makes the fediverse such a big draw currently, for me.
Look at that shit-eating grin, he knows. There’s no way someone can be that out of touch, right? Right?!?
Not one person that I’ve told so far has been aware of Mastodon, unfortunately. At this point, if I met someone in real life that actually knew about the Fediverse already, I’d probably shit a brick.
I forgot, thank you!
