An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! π΅π
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.

I don't think the ~~Chinese government~~ Tencent is looking to profit from Reddit monetarily.
What I think is happening, and I may be completely off the mark here, is that Tencent's share is for propping up a means for which China can propagate and legitimize their propaganda. /r/Sino and /r/GenZedong are in Reddit afterall.
In a weird twist, I think if Tencent had more control, we might see a more user-friendly Reddit, while at the same time, shadowbanning any voice that's critical of China.
Regardless, that fucker is reeking of greed. And I hate greedy people.
Oh, yes~ Hard agree!
