minimalism
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

Maybe 🤔 but can we desire photos (or things) that don't even exist? and why would I want them then?
Unless you are a serious outlier, you won't remember anything half as well as you think you will. And isn't that the point of the "collect experiences, not things" schtick? Why bother doing anything if you don't care whether or not you remember it.
I'm 21 and it scares me how much I've already forgotten from when I was 14-17. I'm so glad I found an old USB of mine lately with hundreds of photo's on it that bring back all the memories. I didn't realise life memories go away so fast. You think you remember your past. But when you look at it, you realise that you really don't remember a very large amount of it.
To capture a moment that has a special emotional value for you and that you may want to share with others later. Basically I am for a minduful photography. When you know that the image you capture is of special value and makes you happy. What I detest are these tourist snappers who have to capture every corner with their bulky camera dangling from their sweaty necks.
