Hello everyone! Glad to see so many people here!
Maybe a mini-introduction from me? I care a lot about durable products because I am dirt poor, and it's so important for me to have things that last. I also care about the environment, so the less landfill, the better (if this is something you also care about, consider checking out @zerowaste!). Currently typing this on a refurbished mid-2012 MacBook Pro beautifully running MacOS Ventura through OCLP. It's not really showing signs of aging, and I hope I can get many more years out of it, as, well, I am poor, lol (but should I ever acquire $$$$$, I definitely wouldn't mind an upgrade :))
I'm not sure if I plan on continuing to moderate this magazine - I just wanted to move subreddits to the Fediverse, to get a head start.
Any r/BuyItForLife mods here that want to continue moderating? m/BuyItForLife, would you like me to contact the subreddit mods to see if they would like to moderate here? Anyone interested in moderating?
Feel free to also respond with an introduction, why you care about "buy it for life" products, and a "buy it for life" product you own/value! And please, feel free to make posts in this magazine, whether they're questions, products you own, or anything else related to BIFL!
And finally, please be patient with me! I'm currently juggling a million things, both online and irl. Thanks! And once again, welcome!
I'm hoping this could be a good refresh from old Reddit sub. In past months I have felt that the sub was somewhat watered down, not so many good advices, and quite a lot of meta. Even though I love me some meta jokes, they are not what I'm looking for in here.
Anyway, used to be a lurker in reddit, hope to change that here.
