An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭
Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Kinda like forcing a square into a circle. It may be the most beautiful, valuable, awe-inspiring, insert adjective square, but if you're putting it into a circle, socially it just doesn't fit in/mesh well. It is something one has to be aware of in any discussion, lest it become hogging all the airtime to yourself because at some point the discussion lost interest. To be fair, human attention is hard to keep. We need to be able to transition well, keep interest in all subjects of discussion, and make it "human" and not feel like a text-to-speech reader lmao.
Agreed! Very much agreed.
It is really important for us to be aware of the person we're talking to (or our audience), which is pretty much, to me at least, the heart of the art of conversation (or writing).
Forget the human, and you might as well be talking to the aether.
