May question ako, after the whole abandoning of this community.. Is there any hope for any move outside of the main social medias?

Intro

I've thought about this, since I've been exploring Mastodon, Bluesky vs Twitter/X.. Nostr. Any move outside of the main three, Facebook, Twitter/X, and Reddit.. fizzles out like this one. While there still remains somewhat of a community, such as the more popular communities in this fediverse.. I wonder what's the hope of switching away from the dominant socmeds if there is no homegrown movement here. I mean, look at me, I very rarely post, and look at Lemmy since any important info is almost always in reddit due to search..

Reflection

Don't get me wrong.. We all have lives outside of social media, (~~especially me~~), it's just.. very hard to come back and look at the multiple of dead communities, knowing you don't really have much to contribute. Like look at the many news posts, and random discussions.. Somebody has to take charge, and it's not going to be me.. I have so many things to do. My point is, there is low hope for any alt socmeds to reliably grow, if either the people that moved just.. move on from being chronically online or go back (to the big three), due to a multitude of reasons.

Conclusion

I think I'm just exhausted with my life, and that has permeated with my internet usage too. There's too many negative videos/posts that I have viewed, but there is much regret and procrastination outside. In conclusion..? I rambled for three paragraphs about Lemmy and the Fediverse, The Big Tech Social Medias, and the Philippines / Internet Culture..

Hope ya got something out of it!

Dumb and dumber: parehas pinaalis sa modlist kasi mga kumag sila. Pasubuin ko sila ng dinuguan e

Filipinos often have this idea that we suck at everything.

For example, when they see bad infrastructure design or mismanaged infra, they go: "OnLy In Da PeLePens". Except that awful infra is present everywhere else.

Here's one of an escalator in Georgia:

When they see litter, they say the exact same thing. Except that other countries litter too. In fact, here's one I found in Japan last week that was left by teenagers. When I got back the next morning it was still there. Why? Japan supposedly has subpar trash collection that's largely dependent on citizens bringing their trash home.

So, in this thread: Post anything you find that debunks this mindset.

MANILA — The Land Transportation Office (LTO) will penalize sellers and buyers up to P40,000 for failing to report sales and transfer vehicle registrations within days of the transaction, a policy that could affect thousands using secondhand cars and motorcycles.

Revolutionary. Props to Youtube.

I guess Alphabet was the 1st to have the auto-generated English subtitle feature? I think Youtube is the only 1 that has Filipino now. Windows 11 and Samsung oneui have the auto-generated English subtitle feature now. I hope they'll have Filipino.

Government data shows that just one of the smaller “flagship” projects was completed this year, while the rest have languished in their preparatory stages since at least 2018.

The DPWH also reported that 70 percent of Metro Manila’s “antiquated drainage system” was clogged with rubbish and silt, hampering flood management. It also reported that the country lacks a national flood control master plan, with only 18 scattered plans for major river basins which are “still being currently updated”.

I just visited it to see what I was missing and thinking if I should go back.

There’s way more political talk than I remember! I got sad from all what the VP is doing (or not doing)!

Then I got shocked by a post that says biko is one of the top 5 worst PH foods!

While I prefer more of the 2nd topic, even if I disagree with it, it is few and far between all the politics.

I am staying put.

The Philippines, which has thousands of islands, dumps the most plastic into the sea. Its Pasig River, which flows into Manila Bay, is "the most (plastic) polluted" in the world.
