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.

“Nagsisisi na Filipino ka?”

I'm Filipino by the accident of birth, so it's a bit illogical for me to say "nagsisisi ako na Filipino ako." Regretting is something that is only valid if you had a choice in the matter.

Now, if I ever wished to be of a different nationality, I'd be lying if I say no. I can go on about my reasoning, but I won't bother you with that.
