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.

That's one hell of a gambit if you intend to off yourself, lol.

Still doesn't change the fact that it's a stupid law. Naalala ko lang tuloy yung Buencamino's who had no idea their daughter was depressed. Ano yun, makukulong sila for failing to notice the signs?

Suicide by cop is a thing though, mostly by those who can't gather enough motivation to off themselves.

It's indeed a stupid law. Though there might be scenarios where that law would be useful (like the imprisonment be replaced by a psychiatric evaluation and treatment) it's still stupid that suicide is criminalized.
