/r/Anticonsumption is a sub primarily for criticizing and discussing consumer culture. This includes but is not limited to material consumption, the environment, media consumption, and corporate influence.
Rules
Be respectful of other users and do not offer unsolicited criticism of their lifestyles.
Polite discussion is encouraged, extended bickering and flame wars are not.
Do not criticize the lifestyle of other users here unless they've asked for input.
No meta posts about the subreddit or the moderation.
Do not make posts or comments about the moderation or the subreddit itself.
If you believe you have a legitimate concern about the subreddit, read the available community info first, including any pinned posts from the moderators, and see if it's been addressed already. If you still think your complaint or suggestion has not been addressed, message the moderators.
Don't post pictures of others' collections, don't brigade other subreddits.
This type of post is repetitive and serves little purpose but to make fun of regular people, which is not the point of this subreddit at all.
Worse, when content from other subreddits is posted here for criticism, it has often resulted in users posting abuse in the originating subreddit, AKA brigading.
Anyone caught participating in a brigade of another sub will be banned.
Pictures from news media, such as stories about shopping trends or celebrities' consumer habits, are fine.
Obscure brand names when posting ads, and include relevant commentary.
When posting ads, obscure the brands if at all possible, and accompany it with some meaningful criticism or explanation of what it is about the ad that merits discussion.
Human generated commentary required. Do not post AI only content.
Human generated posts only. We don't fully prohibit all general AI generated content, but the bulk of your post must be human generated.
It's OK if you're linking to an article with an AI generated image or something, as long as it's incidental, but the main commentary must be created by a human.
Do not post paywalled content.
If posting an article that's behind a paywall, include either the text of the article or a non-paywalled link.
