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.

    Intergenerational wealth doesn’t go away on its own. Belgium would need to return every penny extracted from their slavery and torture in the Congo to even reach neutral status.

    Norway’s oil isn’t much domestically. The problem is that they sell it. It’s irrelevant if they use it domestically or not. It’s still being dug up and burned. That’s the problem.

    I don’t think there exists an ethical country. It’s a sad reality. Cuba is maybe one of the closest to ethical (specifically thinking of State-sposnored efforts to send aid workers to disaster areas for altruistic reasons), but they certainly are not an ethical country.
