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.

Fuck spez
Saw this earlier as well. Reddit could have handled this waaaaaaaay better. Instead they demanded an exorbitant price to use their API, gave a woefully short transition period, and accused a dev with lies that were quickly uncovered.
I feel bad for a lot of mods. You either follow reddit and "give up your soul" or you give up a community more than a few actually gave a fuck about.
In a similar post, Apollo Dev u/iamthatis, further cites duplicitous behavior by reddit.
u/Sped should not have rushed this.
As I read from a comment sa old.reddit, quality content comes from quality users and quality mods. If Reddit can't extend the deadline, or even come to some sort of an arrangement and not double-down on this dahil gusto nya daming moneys from IPO, reddit will be the next 9gag or whatever site that simply recycles stale memes/content.
Sadge moment indeed.
Obviously, mods don't have a clear stance yet.
Which should be fine if they wanted to listen to what the community has to say first.
Which becomes bad because redditors just do not care.
No matter what tho, the mods are fucked because there is no way to appease both parties.
It's just too bad that there was a lack of preparedness and grit.
Yung state of subreddit poll feeling ko may bahid ng brigading talaga yun.
Mali din na napabayaan ng mods na mag comment yung ibang tao outside of the vote comments e.
Taas kamay ng mga sumasang ayon na mga di nila kilala/mga throwaway sleeper alt nagsi kumento dun.
