Paalam, Lemmy! (lemmy.world)

As you can tell from the 1 visitor average per day for the last year (aka. me lol), this community is pretty much dead. No one is reading this as well, but in case you wander here while bored — I'm sticking a fork on Lemmy PH. No more monthly threads or news posts, at least from me.

It started out strong and was brimming with potential, but once r/PH reopened, 90% of the posters made a beeline back to the sub. The rest who decided to stick, slowly packed their bags as well. I don't appreciate being made a joke in Discord, but hey, such is life and the reality of protests.

Thanks for giving this community a shot! It was a fun first month or so! I'm focusing my attention to UndustFixation now, which has been keeping me busy outside of work, actually. Stay safe!

Edit: Shout out to u/gradenko_2000 who saw the protests as performative and took it a step further by not going back to Reddit at all and refusing repeated invites to Lemmy.

Have you guys experienced these policies?

I remember the first taste of this policy when I was an elementary student in a private school. I thought it was dumb because we're filipinos and it wasn't even an international school, but since I was good at English, after some time complaining I let it go because it didn't affect me that much, and I didn't want to be seen as a bratty kid.

Now in college, we visited a museum showcasing the local Filipino culture. After exiting the museum, I glimpsed a sign that said something along the lines of "This is an English Only Zone". I felt betrayed, because the museum was benefiting from Filipino culture but at the same time they're suppressing it. Just like my previous private school, is it all just for the prestige?

And I think to my current situation. I am barely a fluent speaker in Tagalog. I often trip when it comes to uncommon words in Bisaya. And the worst part is that while filipinos are very ubiquitous around the world and on the internet, there are a dearth of resources in learning the national language at an advanced level, let alone the regional ones. I don't even know where to find Bisaya fiction in my city!

How much more until we start forgetting ourselves in our self-loathing? When we start forgetting how to convey intelligent thoughts in our language to the point we sound stupid if we don't speak in some other language?

Experienced the earthquake in Region 10. That makes around 4 earthquakes in 7 days?

A staggering P500 million-worth of insertion in the intelligence fund of the Philippine National Police (PNP) for 2025 was made by a person who also “requested 3,000 containers of fish,” according to Interior and Local Government chief Jonvic Remulla.

FISH! This is beyond a fishy story!

Why it still remains popular for families themselves to take care of their elderly at their homes, rather than allowing total strangers to put them in... what amounted to animal-like conditions?

Mabuhay at maligayang pagdating sa Lemmy! 🇵🇭


A fediverse community for the Philippines and all things Filipino!


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.
