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.

Just a random German here. Please don't trivialize the Holocaust. Thank you.
Going by our depressingly low literacy rates, proliferation of fake news/disinformation, a malfunctioning quality of education, and dramatic increase of malnutrition, we can't fully promise that. 😔
There's also memes. Memes are arguably more likely to trivialize issues even if it was not the intent. I was surprised to learn when a friend talked about a stuff toy their kid wanted. They were not familiar with the character/s until I gathered from their description that the kid wanted countryballs merch.
But what's alarming is that the kid seemed like they enjoyed memes around Nazi Germany and Russia as if they're Saturday morning cartoon anti-heroes.
