Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! βοΈ
An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! π΅π
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.

Nalilito rin ako. Tatlo yung nakita kong community dito:
According to the mod list for /r/Philippines, /u/decadentrebel is one of the mods, and if the mod for this community is the same user behind /u/decadentrebel in Reddit, then this one might be it. But even so, I can't say for certain if they're acting on their own personal initiative, or otherwise.
EDIT: Si /u/sarcasticookie din pala, mod sa /r/Philippines. So dalawa na sila sa modteam ng /r/Philippines na andito.
EDIT 2: Just took a peek at this thread from the reddit site, and yeah, this is the community for lemmy. There are others linked in the thread for other reddit alternatives.
There's been discussions for a week now where to set up shop as the site blacks out, kaso medyo busy karamihan sa mods so there's no back and forth where to exactly. So I took it upon myself to just figure out how Lemmy works, especially with "indefinite" talks percolating.
Ah, I've had an inkling that it's that kind of a scenario. Thanks for the clarification.
In my opinion, creating communities (or forums, or whatever they're called) in the different alternatives is a good short-term moveβeither until the mod team decides, or the people decide (by preferentially going to one alternative over the others).
Wherever it might be, I hope for the best for the /r/Philippines community.
I don't know, but for their own sake, I sure hope any Filipinos, heck, any person in the lemmygrad and hexbear (more radical than lemmygrad) instances have excellent opsec practices.
Pihado, kung tagilid ang opsec practices nila, kung hindi yan sila titiktikan ng husto, gagawan ng kaso, o papatumbahin. Di na kailangang-i-redtag tho, so⦠I guess that's a plus?
I actually made an r/PH version in Raddle despite an existing Filipino community being there already. Turns out, they're (in the mod's own words) "leftist/anarchist-centric" forum so he said that it's better off that we remain separate. π¬
Ah, thanks for the clarification.
Yeah, that is quite a reasonable decision, and I guess a win-win for both communities, since Reddit refugees who are aligned to their views, guided from /r/PH to the /r/PH version in Raddle, could simply hop over and join them if they (the refugees) so desire.
