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

Hi !minimalism@lemmy.world

Let's bring back the posting and get more activity in the community.


My question: What is your most prized possession?

I'll start with mine. It's a watch. More specifically it's the Casio AE1500WH-1AV digital watch.

Why you ask? It simply limits my phone-use and allows me to be present. I can check the clock and date (full auto-calendar till 2099), no phone needed. I can start a timer, no phone needed. Has orange backlight on a button, without always on light, which allows me to see the clock in the middle of the night without ruining my sleep.

These are the features I use the most, however it has other useful functions a freaking 10 year battery (which is neat when you hate charging), 100m water resistance, 5 alarms, split times,

Also the price is 30$, which means it doesn't matter if it gets destroyed, lost or otherwise, it's pretty cheap to get a new one. However it hasnt happened yet, even though I'm pretty careless with it.


I've shown you mine, now show and tell us about yours.

Ha! I don't really prize possessions, but probably my books or something?
