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.

It's not my place to say how people should receive this, but at the same time, I don't think "trivializing" is the right word either.
Kinda reminds me of when someone said that just because a protest (Reddit blackout) "didn't work", doesn't mean it failed — and that person brought up Tiananmen and La Liga Filipina as examples. The commenters then interpreted it as the blackout being placed at the same level as those who were massacred, when that wasn't the point being made at all.
