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

What do you think about the practice of taking photos and keeping souvenirs? Is it a good idea, considering the need to manage, sort, and maintain them, and the fact that they often evoke feelings of nostalgia and melancholia. Should we stop taking photos at all? How do you manage this side of your life?

haha I'm the exact opposite of you. I only take pictures of things and situations that are truly meaninfful to me. I often do photos to capture an idea but I delete them after I used them somehow. I'm more the remembering guy and I rarely have the feeling of losing something preciois or the pressure to capture everything. I just let everything sink in and the memories will come up in the best moments on their own. Those memories may not be sharp like looking at a photo but the fuzziness makes you concentrate on the feelings which no camera will ever capture.

To each their own! I don't have your memory unfortunately, haha.
