my community thursday is that i founded one: promo for digitalminimalism

[milo_r]

digitalminimalism is a community for people who want to re-evaluate, to varying extents, the space technology takes up in their life. This might mean spending less time binge-watching streaming shows, decluttering their smartphone from time-sucking apps or doing more things the analog way. The reasons for doing this are as varied as the rules people set for themselves: to feel more present in the moment, to curb bad coping mechanisms, to stop creating value for predatory companies with shady privacy practices.

I wanted to make a few more posts in the community myself before sharing it but I figured that if I kept waiting I'd be my usual self and never get around to it. There are very few rules (which can be summed up with "don't be a dick") in the profile section and a recurring monthly general chat post.

Why?

This has been one of my big fixations of late and my attempt at finding online community for it (which I realize is ironic) have gone... less than well. There was a worrying amount of alt-right-adjacent ideology, but my fault for thinking to try reddit and discord servers of youtubers, of all things. I just want to share pictures of my new flip phone with people who aren't white supremacists, man.

It might die in four months or never even taking off. But for now here it is!
