Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! โ๏ธ
An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! ๐ต๐ญ
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.

They will only hate it when it affects them. I noticed most post there have huge investments with their account might scared them loosing r/Philippines in turn making all those investment useless.
Help me out, my guy. What kind of investments? Karma?
Investment like what? I have like 15y in reddit and didn't even care if my account disappears today.
Some people farm karma, invest in their avatars as a way to show off legitimately. Its a feel good thing. Nothing against it, others also sell their accounts to troll farms for trolls to use for their agenda or advertising, an account that has high karma might appear attractive to those people and could have some significant value for them. Imagine if a troll farm whose whole business is to push agenda in r/Philippines and its threatened to closed down the other alternative is lemmy which at the moment does not have that wide spread impact due to low users.
