Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned 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.

Aside from glorifying hustle culture, toxic positive pieces like that fail to point out the resources the "successful" person initially had. Chito comes from a certain clan with money and connections. One might ask, "Why can't I be successful like them?", but fails to realize the difference in privileges, it can affect the person's self-worth.

What's worse is that other people might begin to think that poverty is just laziness or a lack of willpower.
