Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­


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.

This is probably the last daily thread for now. If it takes about a day or two (maybe more) to get to 300, we'll close it and make a new one.

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.

Never too late to join the party πŸŽ‰

Ang It's Showtime lilipat na sa GTV hindi pa rin tapos ang flyover sa Molino

[–] megane_kun 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] yeontura 9 points 1 year ago (4 children)

ABS-CBN still wants live broadcasts, not delayed.

[–] dadidutdut 8 points 1 year ago

They were offered 430 PM timeslot in TV5 but they declined

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.

[–] loveme_true 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Parang nawalan ng purpose yung blackout protest na nangyari

In a few minutes after nitong hinihintay kong code deployment, I'll be off na sa work (huhu finally). Long day nga talaga hehe. Good mornight dearest strangers. Salamat, salamat! Share lang ulit bago matulog (skip na lang ulit πŸ˜‰).

Posting in the daily threads back there and here really helped me a lot in many aspects of my life. It seems like I'm heading towards having this one being my last post in a while. Something tells me na I really have to do it, and this time I will finally listen.

Well, if I'm going to push for it starting today, I know I'll miss this, but I'll miss y'all specifically. But yeah, I will keep my profile undeleted, both here and there - open book na din sa mga mapapadpad upang malaman ang mga dapat at hindi dapat tularan hehe. And one day I will look back at my posts and remember that I was once at this juncture - lost, confused, overwhelmed - pero I found my way eventually.

So yeah, until next time dearest dreamers. See you at the movies! πŸ’

Sabi sa akin ng katrabaho ko magreresign na raw yung isa pa naming katrabaho dahil may semi-pro basketball team na nag-aalok sa kanya ng kontrata. Hindi ko pa natatanong yung katrabaho naming yun dahil baka maging rude, pero ngayon lang ako nakarinig ng ganoong dahilan ng pag-resign lol

[–] michellinnostar 12 points 1 year ago

I might stay here in Lemmy for a while, kahit na reopened at back to normal ang napagkasunduan. Mas tame dito.

[–] michellinnostar 11 points 1 year ago

Naiirita na ko sa coworker kong napakalakas tumawa akala niya ata comedy bar tong opisina.

Lemmy.

[–] keyboardaquaria 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

I wish I didn't have to go to work but at least I can browse lemmy when I'm not busy, and I can listen to music anytime.

Buhay na naman si breaker-of-circles after being silent on the day r/ph went public.

[–] yeontura 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Mukhang nahanap niya yung comment na nagpapatunay sa argument niya

[–] decadentrebel 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

Which isn't even proof, lol. It was already mentioned that the founder was a foreigner, but the added context β€” that he's been living here for a decade and ceded the top post out of delicadeza β€” is a good thing that runs counter to his argument that he's some evil overlord badgering his fellow mods to act a certain way.

Ewan ko ba kung ano nangyari diyan kay breaker. He's one of my favorite redditors pa naman. Then again, I always love those posters na medyo goes against the grain. 😁

[–] yeontura 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I always see them as Breaker of Circles, as in circlejerks

Today's Listen To This [Jun 20]:

Magdalena Bay - The Girls

Si dub4u pala ang tinutukoy na foreigner mod ng r/ph.

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 thereβ€”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.
