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 was unaware of the flooding that Ondoy caused during its peak. Electricity wasn't cut off in our area either, internet connection was doing fine as well. It was only when I attempted to go out of the house to buy some food that I realized the damage it caused. No floods in our area, thankfully, but we're almost literally an island that day.
I should have been aware of the near-constant torrential rain all night and all throughout that morning though.
