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.
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
Hello, dear fellow lemmings,
I am writing this post as a main information thread about the current state of this community and some future plans. I started this community as a free and open alternative to the r/minimalism subreddit. As a libretarian, freedom and openness are very important to me, which is why this community is hosted on such a wonderful platform as the fediverse.
A community is formed by individual members who voluntarily choose to share their time and knowledge with others of like mind. This should also be the core of this community. It should serve as a place of exchange and a point of inspiration for those who are concerned with the topic of minimalism.
In this sense, all actions and initiatives are to be undertaken solely by the members of the community. The task of the mods should therefore be to implement these decisions and the rules that have been drawn up. They should always act in the interest of the community and be accountable for their actions. This is in clear contrast to many subreddits, where mods often abuse their power to push through personal agendas and interests.
We are currently still a small community that is in the process of being built up, so any action that creates a pleasant group atmosphere in our small lemming family is highly welcome.
Peace out!
I am very grateful for any feedback on my ideas, but also on the visual aspects like the logo or the banner. I am also happy about anyone who is willing to take responsibility and apply for the mod function. I hope we can democratise this somehow in the future. At the moment you can just send me a message.
