Are there any communities dedicated to product reviews? (slrpnk.net)

Is that something people would even need/want here?

I've lost trust in reviews in general but am interested in repairable products. For TVs/screens I like rtings. Youtube covers a lot of products.

What kind of stuff are you thinking about?

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.

Are you still thinking about making one?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, any suggestions?

Not really but I'd join if you do.

I agree. The best option now is to look for specific sources of trustworthy reviews.

Regarding rtings, the two monitors I purchased myself had completely different results from the monitor RTINGS showed. What does that say? RTINGS is totally unreliable? I got ridiculously unlucky? https://hardforum.com/threads/why-are-ips-monitors-popular-the-ips-glow-ruins-a-third-of-the-screen-along-with-any-color-advantage-it-may-have.2032852/post-1045814690
