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.

      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
