Today’s Ask PHlemmings: What is one conspiracy theory that you actually believe?
So far his predictions have come true. We entered the “Malacanang shitty” in 2016, Mrs. Marcos is back in power, Noynoy passed away (albeit not by decapitation), and we can now fight Gosling after he starred in Barbie.
I hope I’m still alive when the magnafanta computer is finally introduced in 2046.
Lagpas dalawang linggo na pala ang community na ito dito.
I’ve been checking Lemmy almost ever since the weekend just before the blackouts, replacing Reddit as my addiction (of sorts). I’ve also managed to subscribe to a good number of communities, such that my feed is now quite healthy with content. I almost never get the urge to browse Reddit anymore, not even with all the mention of it in my feed.
How about you guys? Kamusta naman ang Lemmy experience ninyo thus far?
I still go to reddit for some of my interests that aren’t here yet, but for news, I use Lemmy na.
Ayun lang. Ayaw kong tignan yung mga subreddits for my interests na ala dito. Natatakot akong maging marupok at magbalik-loob kay Poong $₱€Ƶ eh. HAHAHA!
But i need my news about wrestliiiiing hahaha. Seriously though, I’m trying to limit my usage na. Siguro pag nagupgrade na ang Lemmy World to .18 mas magagamit ko since wala na dapat yung autopopulation ng bagong posts sa All.
onga buti dumami na users kaya dami na rin posts+comments, sana dumami pa sa July 1
Oo nga, guys like cheese_sticks and also those who appeared to have opted out a long time ago like GuitarEater2. Sana they end up stumbling here.
Haha! Seriously hoping hindi pumunta dito ang feeling mod at yung mra na apparently conspiracy theorist din.
Ever since the blackout, I barely go back. The only times that I do is 1) to look for AskReddit material for the RD thread, 2) when someone links to juicy content, 3) close down r/thevisoria, and 4) peek at r/PH’s frontpage occasionally, particularly nung polling.
But I stopped posting and likely never will again. Wala rin ako itch to do so.
It’s been slow for lemmy communities to form. Partly na rin siguro madami parin fence sitters sa reddit debacle up until July I suppose. Kaunti palang nasasalihan kong communities tho.
Pansin ko lang, nag nose dive na moderation sa rph. I don’t know if it’s just me but the posts are all over.

Some of this is me, I think. I’m very unforgiving of low-effort posts that could be answered with just one reply. Tipong topics that belong in the Help Thread or already been asked/addressed several times before. Makukulong ka ba if hindi mo binayaran yung 800 pesos na balance sa PLDT or takbuhan mo Anytime Fitness membership. Best earphones for 200 pesos na goods na goods. IT o Accounting, ano kukunin ko na course?
Karma farm or redundant threads bwisit rin kami. Yung mga “Ako lang ba naiinis sa utang na loob”, “What’s your favorite pancit canton?”, “Toxic Filipino Culture”, tinatanggal ko na lang without any explanation, lol.
The last month or so we were very consistent with this to the point na yung mga threads na otherwise matatabunan papunta sa third page, get a chance to shine. A good example was DENR planting the wrong Mangrove specie — it only had 11 replies on its first day and mushroomed to 195 in just a few days.

Yeah. Kaumay nga eh.
There are people there who want escapism due to how things are now. So they come up with casual low-effort content, thinking it’s fun than reading depressing or infuriating news headlines. Coping mechanism nila.
Ay! Thanks for reminding me of that. Tagal na rin akong may Mastodon, pero sobrang hirap makahanap ng PH content, lalo na yung news and current events. Umabot sa point na recently nag-iisip ako kung kakayanin ko bang gumawa ng bot pang-repost galing Philippine news sources as well as PAG-ASA and Philvolcs. Kaso may nag-remind sa akin ginto na pala ang API access sa Twitter.
Mag-tatanong-tanong nga sana ako dito kung may alam silang magandang i-follow for PH-related things sa Mastodon eh. Forgot all about that tho until your reply.
the search function of mastodon is easier to use than lemmys but i find conversations easier here. mas may community na vibe dito that is missing in mastodon. am now using this community more than reddit. edit: thanks for the news bots.
wanted to support the federation so after setting up mastodon, i also created a pixelfed account. i like the instance (pxlmo.com), just people sharing their photos and art. sa mga nagbabalak iwan ang instagram, join us.
Something to think about: afaik this country only has one or two nursing homes, and they’re not for everyone.
That’s why I said only a few, because the only decent one requires, yeah, money. While the other is government-funded… elderly care in New Bilibid for life-sentence convicts.
Yup. Buried underneath most of the “ReTiReMeNt PlAn nG mAgUlAnG” circle jerk is the sad reality that retirement homes are not a thing here, and that it costs upwards to 1 million annually per person (looking at RainTree at least).
good morning yawn, di pako tulog
