I’m pretty new to lemmy, and created a community to reflect a topic I like to discuss: anti-consumerism. I’m hoping it’s similar to /r/anticonsumption on Reddit, but with a strict anti-capitalist lens and less shaming.

If you want:

  • Articles and essays critiquing consumerism.
  • Instructions to repair or DIY goods instead of buying them.
  • Alternatives to consumerism (gift economies, mutual aid, libraries, sharing, etc)
  • Self reflection on consumerist habits and personal growth in moving away from consumerism.
  • Propaganda and memes that inspire people to consume less.

Then, !anti_consumerism@lemmy.ml might be a community for you!
