Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! āœˆļø


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! šŸ‡µšŸ‡­


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.

Someone brought up bailing from Twitter in the previous RD thread, and I quickly remembered how I would tweet just to keep myself entertained with the long queues. Wala pa ako mobile internet a long time ago so I'd have to send my tweets to a dedicated Globe number and they will post it. Parang old school telegram, lmao.

This was a pic from one of my older tweets. Yung mala-isaw na pila ng jeeps sa North Avenue terminal.

Edit: To be clear, this was a pic I took during that exact tweet. It wasn't on the tweet itself since I obviously can't upload images (nor did Twitter support it yet).

I did this for Plurk back in the late 2000's, but not that often since the amount of lag is just incredible (but defensively so). It's a really nifty service back then though, posting through SMS, even if limited to just text.
