An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­


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.

Kung ganyan yung ginagawa sa mga unpaid/volunteer mods sa reddit, dapat mag GTFO na sila dyan

Spez going full Hitler, the longer this saga gets, the more convinced I am that I made the right decision to leave.

Question: what happens to subs like r/interestingasfuck? If they switch it back to sfw, won't the users still post...questionable stuff? No more reddit account so I'm ootl.

It was fun while it lasted.

I hope that this makes the ignorant realize that this shitstorm is but a preview. Things will get worse and worse as the frog that are the ignorant gets boiled as the Reddit shareholders push to squeeze each and every drop of money that can be squeezed out of the users and their user data.

Reddit shareholders

Including Tencent.

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.
