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

MODERATORS
Hey all,
This is the place where you can share your ideas, improvements, whishes or general feedback regarding this community.
Update 1
the people here have agreed to dedicate this community to the general discussion of minimalism.
I'm trying to make everything as transparent and democratic as possible so you can really harness the freedom of the decentralized internet with its main strength: the community.

Thank you for being transparent and up to the task of moderating!!
I vote for this community to be about minimalism lifestyle, but would let people post about the aesthetics too in the beginning (as you said in another thread) until this sub grows. Then if it becomes too much we could branch aesthetics to another community.
I don't know if Lemmy supports tags, but something like [Aesthetics] and [Lifestyle] would be cool.
Just my thoughts.
That's what I thought either. Everyone must decide for themselves how he/she/it interprets minimalism. However, this reference must be made clear as a matter of urgency so that as many people as possible can understand this train of thought.
I also prefer user-based moderation in particular. Anyone can block users who annoy them or seem posting unimportant things. Moderators should only have to intervene in emergencies. But I will write a more detailed post on this.
