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.

I thought he was going to be an inutile president at best, but he's alright so far. Parang P-Noy days lang wherein you can generally ride out the term peacefully, save for a few hiccups. Duterte era lang talaga yung so bad you have your butt cheeks clenched every day. Of course andyan pa rin yung mga hihirit na gusto daw "isanitize" yung memories ng Marcoses (as if naman what BBM does isn't independent of his father's transgressions) or calm before the storm daw, lmao.
Then again, I'm not one to lionize politicians. I give them props if they do something good and chastise them if there's anything bad, and I don't care what the name on the plaque says. That's why it's much easier for me to objectively look at Robin Padilla (who says a lot of stupid shit that doesn't endear him to an already hostile crowd) instead of saying intellectually dishonest sweeping statements like "WaLa NaMaN SiLbi" which isn't true at all. I like that JV Ejercito is willing to look at small scale nuclear reactors for alternative energy while Risa Hontiveros (who usually isn't wrong) gets a thumbs down from me for not even looking at the proposal and going "hurr durr meltdown bataan". Villar is correct that we should be putting as much attention to the ASF outbreak as the Guo circus.
I agree. We need to look at things objectively. It looks like the situation here is livable. The last one is like the Vandals taking over the Roman empire.
