Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! โœˆ๏ธ


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ


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.

Did you guys retain your username from Reddit?

Nagdadalawang isip ako whether I should just make a new account with a new username. I still like my username that's why I wanna keep it. But at the same time some people I know in person already knows my Reddit username so my pseudo-anonymity is somehow "compromised".

How about you guys, did you use your old usernames? And why?

I did. Mostly so those coming in here know it's us and they won't end up on the tankie side of Lemmy, lol.

Was actually a good idea and it made a lot of sense for r/ph mods. I actually just randomly stumbled upon this instance without being guided from Reddit so nung nakakita ako familiar names, I felt kind of at home. Not to mention yung banners and the sidebar info are similar.

Yes. This is my username from Reddit as well as the now defunct Pinoyexchange.

Yes. Kasi supot si $pd and makikipagsuntukan ako sa kanya. As I gloat over him in a victorious pose, I will make sure he remembers the name.

Yes. Para hindi na ko mahirapan mag-isip lol

I think this makes the most sense. Haha! Kahit ako ayaw ko magpalit kaso ayun nga. People know me by my username. Di ko alam sino nagkalat nun within my circle so I feel a little bit more vulnerable. Haha!
