Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! โœˆ๏ธ


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.

My reddit account is 8 years old na pero di ko alam na may ibang ways/apps pala to browse reddit. I'm only a lurker and rarely post/comment/upvote. It is my only source of info about my hobbies or news on current happenings dahil wala akong ibang social media accounts. It might be hard to compeltely delete it, but I will still support the current protest.

I will not be using reddit for at least a week starting today. Or maybe extend it more if this Lemmy or other alternatives work. Ang weird lang na may thumb automatically goes to the reddit app icon whenever I unlock my phone, and I need to mindfully control not to tap it (adik yan?).

Totoo, same for me - I deleted reddit na from my phone para maprevent yun. May space sa homescreen ko haha, yun nappress ko every now and then
