minimalism
About us
An open, user owned community dedicated to the philosophy of minimalism and the minimalist way of life. All types of posts are allowed, as long as they are relevant to the topic of minimalism.
Rules
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

I can't speak for everyone, but the lightphone can be a wifi hotspot. That's a feature that makes it more attractive to me. I would get a minimalist phone to avoid carrying distractions around with me, but I would still want to be able to get online via a tablet or laptop.
Edit: I hadn't looked at the punkt phones, but they also can be a wifi hotspot.
It's more to carry but you could get a Nokia and a hotspot device for way less if that was what you needed. And again you could buy those things now, they exist.
I did this until recently, monochrome Nokia and a hotspot for when I needed connectivity for my work laptop. I changed when I needed to do site surveys more frequently, a tablet with a Sim made much more sense.
