    Was creating a Philippine Lemmy community just an echo chamber? Most of us are anticipating on re-opening the sub than embracing the new platform we have right now.

    Personally, I want to see a piece of artwork develop over time like I was watching a film “Finding Neverland” we may thought it is a magical world, but nope nope.

    But damn, Lemmy minimizes my doom-scrolling I got from Reddit.

        I feel like lemmy will be as big as reddit in a few years. Idk why pero for some reason lagi akong nauuna sa mga patok na apps bago sila sumikat. I was there on tiktok when numerical codes pa ang user ID. Nasa lazada na rin ako nung puro shady gadgets like ballpen with spy camera and audio recorder pa lang ang binebenta nila while only having 1 warehouse sa rizal area. Even on instagram nauna ako I was there before FB acquired IG. Looks like I’ll be one of the pioneer users again in an upcoming unicorn app which is Lemmy.

      I’m staying here. I don’t even have the official Reddit app on my devices. Apollo/RIF all the way!

      EDIT: If Old Reddit dies which most users use it also, that can be the real protest.

      It’s staying. Both as an active alternative and a fallback.

      Some of the “regulars” here either left Reddit a long time ago or have no plans of coming back if it reopened anyway.

        Definitely hindi kasi tinakot kami na mawawalan ng mod status. We never heard a peep from Reddit, lol.

        Even if they did, I would gleefully tell them: “Good. Let’s move along with that process, shall we?”

            That’s actually decent in terms of rumors, haha. At least yan may resibo na nangyari sa ibang subs.

            Yung mapapa-tambling ka talaga sa kung san lupalop nahukay is hindi daw Filipino mga mods (not true) and that the head mod was forcing us to hold out (also not true).

                He’s been living here for a long while now, so that isn’t a “foreigner” anymore.

                Furthermore, he barely said anything throughout the entire blackout process. Just said he was supporting us. Idk where the hostage BS came from na umabot pa hanggang Twitter, lmao.

                  actually mod there being foreigner or not should not be an issue in the first place, parang nangyari kay doc adam lol, as long as ph relevant ang issue I’m fine with it also isn’t it a win we’re outsourcing a labor this is not what happens technically but can be used as viewpoint for those who have racism problem to ease their pain that one of the mods is a foreigner

              Naalala ko may similar issue dati ang r/India na inaakusahan ng mga users from the r/IndiaSpeaks subreddit na hindi raw Indiano ang mga mods ng r/India.

    So yeah, I woke up very early ulit clearly over thinking again, and I’m hoping na makatulog pa ako kasi I’ll be likely having a long day today. Good mornight dearest strangers, and have a great week ahead! ♥️ To end, pa mini omc lang ah? Kailangan lang, haha (skip na lang 😂 ).

    =

    Ito siguro yung part ng buhay ko na napagdaanan niyo na (sakin kasi ngayon pa lang). Araw-araw lang kasi napapaisip ako bakit ba binigay 'tong taong 'to sa akin sa stage ng buhay ko ngayon? I’ve had countless nights this past year being not in my element. You know what, I’m still truly thankful, tbh. Kasi kung hindi dahil sa kanya, di ko malalaman na may ganito pala akong kapasidad magmahal.

    I don’t know if this person will just be a part of my journey or what, and if I still got some time left. What I know though, can be sum up to my all time favorite early 2ks song: 'Cause you bring out [back] the best in me, like no one else can do. That’s why I’m by your side, and that’s why I love you.

    So yeah, wishing you the best everyday, all the time, whatever happens.

      This was like Election 2022 when many kakampinks jumpshipped to r/ph 'cause “di toxic, at walang peknews.” Napaka-mindful raw mga Redditors. And now that sub is filled with excessive, lazy screencapped socmed dramas lol

        Protesting is no longer effective here in the Philippines. Kaya little effort na sa mga lumalaban ng social injustices against those guilty ones na mababa ang tinging sa protests at iba pang mga laban sa kanila.

          protest is not only about changing them, its also about changing yourself.

          changing yourself, is that not effective?

          maybe for you, maybe for the others.
