You need someone to host and pay that domain. .ph domains tend to be expensive to renew.
Yeah. Hosting might be cheaper, but it would be a challenge to keep it sustainable if it’s going to operate through contributions. And yeah, it’s a pity that dot.ph has complete control over the .ph TLDs. But I suppose it doesn’t necessarily have to be a .ph, but any domain name that could cater to the ph crowd.
how about gawa tayo sarili natin instance? will be financed through donations galing mismo satin. Pero is it possible ma-takedown un instance if ever na may topic na controversial for example sa itang politician? something like na-insulto xa sa post natin and pinagbantaan tayo?
That’s another can of worms I’ve never thought about. Reddit used to have a warranty canary in their annual transparency report. It disappeared on the next year which indicated that foreign governments has started potential user information requests.
In 2016, there was one preservation request from Philippines. But by last year, there were 8 content removal requests.
So yeah, it’s possible that a PH-centric instance could be sanctioned by the government for content they may deem questionable.
