Hi there, I came here to the BIFL Lemmy out of suspicion that the reddit posts are just unlabelled marketing, and I was wondering the possibility of sourcing goods that are more to a BIFL standard? In my area, second hand goods tend to be really quite poor in quality (reselling fast fashion) or otherwise not present, and I have not inherited anything that does last. So I would apprecite advice or reccomendations for finding goods at a BIFL standard. I was also wondering if maybe there would be anyone with good advice for finding sustainable, local textile production so that I may be able to tailor what I need without having to buy from the poor selection aforementioned, does anyone know of any of this?
TL:DR I am suspicious that a lot of what is claimed as ‘BIFL’ has been enshittified, and would like advice on being able to search for sustainable goods for a local area (not specified because I’m hoping for advice with searching, not exactly for specific reccs)
I was told the rotring 600 was bifl. Nah I put it through the ringer and it didn’t last a year. The metal pusher thing just flew off because it’s poorly designed.
I got one yesterday and I’m thinking about returning it. It feels very underwhelming. I expected higher quality.
I think it got enshitified when Newell bought them out. The older rotrings might be better quality. I have two of their pens because customer service sent me one for free because I said it broke off. It’s still a nice weighted pen and I still use it. I just try to be nice with it now. I even got a few of my friends to get the rotring pen and pencils
