Thanks. Looks like I’m subscribed to both, and just hit the first when searching. The latter does seem to be more active.
And I’m not trying to single out those people. Looking at that community list, I have probably seven or eight pocketknives myself (including two Spydercos), several flashlights (including a tri-18650-cell, Anduril-firmware flashlight), probably a dozen fountain pens (including one gold nib-equipped one), and a multitool that I carry with me. Those are, if I am to be honest, unnecessary toys — I would be at most very mildly inconvenienced if every one of those disappeared tomorrow. Just saying that before we get too enthusiastically involved in bagging on the middle-class white woman who spends $10/year on a not-really-necessary fad waterbottle…maybe everyone should consider their own unnecessary stuff. If they’re truly more disciplined and ascetic, fair enough. But I think on the “toy” scale, the fad waterbottle probably isn’t especially bad.
