I love Shannon Torrens. She has such an easygoing style, and seems like a genuinely nice person.

Who do you like to watch?

Hey all,

we still have no clear rules for this community and I'd like to dicuss them together with you so that you can give feedback and request changes. I copied a draft over from the digital minimalism community and adjusted it a bit.

Rules of this community may be:

1. Be honest with yourself and others.

The goal is to develop yourself personally and as a community. Seriously, if you’re not honest with yourself and pretend to be someone else, you’re not going anywhere. The first step to progression is acceptance, isn’t it?

2. Be polite to others and respects each others opinions.

Your freedom ends where somebody else's begins. Remember that there are people that may see things differently than you.

3. Keep it theme-oriented, up to date and relevant.

In general, all types of contributions are allowed, but the relevance to this community must always be evident and presented openly by the contributor. Posts that do not meet these requirements will be removed after a public warning.

4. Use self-moderation measures first before reporting.

This community is fundamentally built upon freedom of speech. Since everyone understands minimalism differently and we do not want to exclude any kind of content a priori, we appeal to the individual users to block/mute posts or users who do not meet their requirements. Please bear this in mind when filing a report

If any of these rules are broken, please feel free to contact one of the mods.

Update: Since these rules have met with no resistance, I will adopt them for the time being as they currently stand. However, suggestions for improvement are still very welcome.

I was thinking about this today. I try to research products and save up before buying something, so I invest in quality (also trying to buy responsibly due to environment), but sometimes I buy something expensive and then half a year later realize I didn't use it as much as I had hoped to... but feel bad about donating / recycling the thing so soon since I paid a lot of money for it.

Another example is shaving razors. I'd like to buy a proper, metal one with a replaceable blade, but then I'm thinking how much nicer it is to just dispose of it once I am done (no need to clean it or sharpen it).

Any thoughts, experiences, comments are appreciate it. Really interested about what people think about this topic!

It really started for me when I got divorced and went bankrupt. There was no way to spend on frivolous things.

What about you?

Hey all, time to get posting.

Do you guys journal your belongings? I noticed it helps me get rid of clutter-anxiety by sometimes journaling my stuff.

I simply write bunch of categories such as 'clothes' and then list how many pants I have, or shoes, and so on.

Title.

There is a minimalism community on lemmy.ml but it's not active and the mod has been MIA for a long time.

The mod here seems to be active user and just wondering if I could start posting the same type of content that we had on r/minimalism.

Minimalism was in my top 10 favourite subreddits!
