An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from June 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.

Meron ba ditong mga childfree? Yung r/ChildfreePhilippines more than 1k pero di naman active lol

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Baka nag-quit Reddit na, haha.

Hahaha. Pweds. Yung r/childfree nga wala na daw eh. Lumipat na dito.

Saan instance sila?

Add ko sana sila sa PH fediverse sidebar.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hindi yung PH sub yung sinasabi ko. Hahaha. Sorry ang gulo kong kausap.

Childish, meron! Joke!

Used to regularly take a peek at /r/childfree years back, pero di ko na rin kinaya yung tone nila dun. There's only enough ways to say "being childfree is a choice!" "It's a sin to make another soul undergo torment in this world!" or other stuff.

I get it, it's difficult to live a childfree life, especially when surrounded by the conservative, religious-minded. I get the need to rant about it, pero susmiyoโ€ฆ Like, uh, parang ang hirap mag-tambay dun nang matagal.

Sorry for the rant ah.

It's okay. I get what you mean. Medyo ganun nga doon. Naging lurker din ako. This year ko lang nalaman na may mga ganun palang sub. I remember months ago someone posted sa r/ph asking if may childfree people ba doon and their reasons why they chose to be so tapos ang daming nagreply. Napaisip lang ako kung andito din sila.

I was exposed to it and /r/antinatalism quite early on in my Reddit carreer. While I am sympathetic to their cause, I feel that the overall mood over at those subs are just a bit too much.

I suppose as more and more people find their way over here, a childfree community would arise here as well. I hope they won't have as much toxicity as their Reddit counterparts.

Ako din. While karamihan sa friends and family members ko child-free, they're not in the same boat as the typical card-carrying child-free that are just as annoying and toxic as those who keep on pestering singles/couples when they're getting kids.

Tapos napanood ko pa yung kumakalat na vid about gen-Zs, and I just facepalmed hard on how cliche the answers were. Tbf, the "survey" was done in bad faith because why would you be asking inexperienced kids about parenting? Lmao.
