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.

Eh, that's what people say. They also say that JLC and Shaina went to a hospital to have his dick pulled out and Piolo Pascual is gay. It's all hearsay. In a way, Duterte's fentanyl addiction is just as unreliable because the only source is him.
That said, this is maybe just the utilitarian in me speaking. I don't think being into drugs diminishes my view of a person, regardless if it conflicts with my own moral base (being straight edge and all). Illegal yes, but so is piracy.
The point is that it's not a rumor that sprung out of nowhere, nor is duterte the only source. I do acknowledge, however, that it became popular because he talked about it.
