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

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

What about you?

I'm not sure of the exact age but once I realized most shit is just not needed and they're not good products. Things went from trusted brands that were known for their long life span and reparability to fast fashion and planned obsolescence.

Also the marketing behind it all to make people feel inadequate unless they have x product .

If the corporations had their way we would be paying per breath. Maybe we are in the context of the climate.
