I know there are similar communities like !buyitforlife@slrpnk.net 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 !deamazon@piefed.social, but that’s more about general anti-Amazon sentiment than specifically helping steer people away from Amazon’s online retail monopoly.
I found the best way to avoid Amazon was just to buy a lot less pointless stuff.
If you don’t buy that bluetooth shower speaker shaped like a cat, you don’t need to find a dodgy dropshipping company in a self storage unit that resells it.
Also now Amazon launched a Temu competitor called Haul. It’s just Amazon-style pointless shit, but even worse!
