Or we badly need a legit the_yaya. 🤣

I must admit that last week, I actually looked at how one can create a bot here in Lemmy.

If memory serves me right, I was looking at this repo, but decided it's a bit too much for me to understand, much less use and do something useful with it. It does have the functionality to automatically create posts in a community, however.

Ei, welcome to Lemmy! I hope you enjoy your time here.

May kape at biskwit dyan sa may mahabang mesa kung gusto mo. /jk

Never too late to join the party 🎉

Wait, what?? I don't follow this kind of news, but is this because of Eat Bulaga moving to TV5 and taking over Showtime's timeslot? I remember reading people commenting about how there might be an Eat Bulaga–Showtime combo.

Hindi ko alam kung matatawa ako o maiinis. Napaka weak naman yung mga addict sa ph reddit. Hindi kinaya yung konting araw na blackout. Hindi nakayanan na mawala yung gaguhan sa RD.

Parang nawalan ng purpose yung blackout protest na nangyari

not a big fan of the results, was hoping for our john oliver moment, or like a restricted community with the spaghetting pababa at pataas idea :<

Ok lang ba ma-attract sa isang semi-mythical figure?

inb4 like your imaginary girlfriend

Lemmy.

but honestly, blue colored hair

The smell of those I find attractive. May it be mabango o mabaho. Pero huwag naman yung malala na.

Mukhang nahanap niya yung comment na nagpapatunay sa argument niya

If the protests are really such a failure as some people say, we wouldn't see actions such as:

• ordering (some other) subreddit(s) to open, lest the mod team be replaced by those who are more compliant
• making interviews all over and telling that the protests are a failure (if they are a failure, why talk about it, you wouldn't want to put a spotlight on them, would you?)

I think that the resulting media coverage alone, forcing Reddit to go on a PR tour all over mainstream media, is success enough. It has also led some advertisers to pause their campaigns on Reddit.

Sentiment on Reddit is not reliable as well. Ignoring (chat) bots and plants, those who have remained are more skewed towards being on Reddit's side of the fight. The others, like us here, have already moved elsewhere, and some others still are boycotting the site. That means that our voices are not heard on Reddit anymore (not that I am interested in making my voice heard over there—not after I've gotten convinced that it doesn't matter).

The protests have succeeded in doing at least one thing: giving the people the push to move onto other alternatives. It also arguably succeeded in putting the highlight on the problems users have against Reddit. It also could probably be argued as spooking advertisers enough to put their campaigns on Reddit on a temporary hold.

In the end, it's just a matter of what you think the protests are aiming for, and to what extent. If you think the protests are such that Reddit gives in and relents on the API price spike, then yeah, sure, it failed hard. I think, however, that getting Reddit to relent is but a bonus.

Yun o, may freelance artist. Papost ng services sa c/thevisoria ng mabinyagan, lol.
