Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️

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.

Me: I never use official reddit app ever since I procure my phone 2 years ago, Using infinity is my first choice in browsing reddit in mobile, stealth is the second but I love infinity that I go back using it, in desktop I use teddit.net but if I want to post I use the official website on Firefox with uBlock Origin to deter the ads and trackers, now I'll never go back on reddit if their decision is final to charge developers for their API, because Infinity, Stealth and Teddit devs probably will shutdown as they are only solo/small teams that just want to make the digital world a better place they can't pay for api donating to them will only do good for a short time as the API is fucking expensive and breaks the rule of FOSS philosophy

this excludes Apollo and other Close Source software that uses reddit's api though as I never use it so I can't say things about them

I made an account here already just in case the subreddits I'm subscribed to permanently makes their subreddit on private, or their mods get replaced. I know r/twosentencehorror is going dark indefinitely, and a couple of other mods from other subreddits has said that they won't go back on public by June 14 if nothing changes.

I primarily use reddit on PC (old reddit + RES + uBlock Origin specifically), so I don't think the whole API thing would really affect me directly, but it will affect a lot of mods and other users. I really hope people don't just forget about this whole thing after a week.

And also, that whole AMA was a clusterfuck lmao. spez only responded to 14 questions, and the other 3 only responded 2-3 each. Most, if not all, weren't even answers. spez was doubling down on the whole "Apollo dev lying/tried to blackmail us" thing too. Yikes.

r/Videos mod/mods subreddit will shutdown on June 11th and will remain shut until reddit changes decision which is a huge blow to the platform and if they get replace they're planning to migrate to Tilde
