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 didn't know even RES is due next in the chopping block. RIP RES

Hindi na rin naman talaga under active development ang RES even before pa nung API price hike, so it was just a matter of time.

However, sa pagkakaala-ala ko sa announcement galing sa RES, affected rin sila ng API price spike. So, ayun, imbes na mamatay na lang sa kantandaan….


EDIT:

Lagay ko lang yung links dito sa mga announcements na ginawa ng RES

TL;DR: It's not quite dead, but the writing is on the wall.


Edit 2:

Edited Reddit links.
