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

We've all heard the labels – vegan, city dwelling, young affluent, anti-capitalist hippies... the list goes on. But beyond the rage-baiting media's depictions, what's the funniest, most surprising, or common misconception someone has had about your minimalist lifestyle?

A few have thought it was a political or even religious stance e.g. environmental-based, anti-corporation/capitalist. No I just don't like lugging around and burdening myself with unnecessary stuff. although I suppose it does influence certain views e.g. sustainability.
