Ha! That’s awesome. Definitely should’ve leaned way into it.

Please tell us what your list of crazy things was. Lol

That was an excellent writeup, thanks for sharing

I had no idea they would/could bite humans. Think you could share a link to the species or something?

Yes, any suggestions?

I think a new #platform needs to emerge from this

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.

The fact that it’s got a dedicated hardware button that is locked to something useless/arbitrary (bixby…)

People like that will be mad either way. There’s no right answer.

not usually :/

It definitely shows. I hope you are able to keep your passion for it too.

I feel like this should be a weekly contest or something, the comments here are fantastic.
