Buy it for Life

A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

  1. The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
  2. If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
  3. The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
  4. You cannot be a large corporation.
  5. The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

There are now two BifL communities in the free decentralized world:

Perhaps each wants to mention the other in the sidebar?

You're missing the main point, which is that they're unmodded

Naah. Their points are very valid. Unmoderated communities are easily remedied by reaching out to admins. If they didn't have their other points, I would suggest they just try taking over an existing community.

The question would be, why bother? If they're unmodded and nobody's putting in any effort with them, what's to be gained by taking them over rather than just focusing on this one?
