Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️

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.

Me: I never use official reddit app ever since I procure my phone 2 years ago, Using infinity is my first choice in browsing reddit in mobile, stealth is the second but I love infinity that I go back using it, in desktop I use teddit.net but if I want to post I use the official website on Firefox with uBlock Origin to deter the ads and trackers, now I'll never go back on reddit if their decision is final to charge developers for their API, because Infinity, Stealth and Teddit devs probably will shutdown as they are only solo/small teams that just want to make the digital world a better place they can't pay for api donating to them will only do good for a short time as the API is fucking expensive and breaks the rule of FOSS philosophy

this excludes Apollo and other Close Source software that uses reddit's api though as I never use it so I can't say things about them

It seems that I don't have a life and I can't live without this group lol.

I also use Infinity for Reddit on my phone and use Firefox with uBlock Origin when browsing on my PC. I am still open to just use the web version. Firefox Mobile has uBlock Origin too.

Naiirita ako pag nakaka kita ako ng ads. Dibale na sana kung nakakatawa or informative. Pero hindi, puro scam pa yun ads na lumalabas.

Tapos pansin ko dumadami na rin yun followers ko na may only fans. Mga bots ata yun.

okay lang di naman sana may ads sa reddit, kasi yun lang naman mostly ang source of income ng mga free sites eh

pero itong ginagawa ng reddit eh kupal talaga. they want to shut down 3rd party apps but

Denies they want to shutdown the 3rd party apps
Hurls false accusations against 3rd party app developers
Charges rates that are incredibly unreasonable

Nakakabuwisit lang talaga kasi reddit is my favorite website and it sucks that established communities will have to be rebuilt dahil sa kagaguhan nila

As a pro privacy and piracy I'm strictly against ads bat eto namang lemmy donation based lang nabubuhay naman atsaka yung jerboa na gawa mismo din nang gumawa ng lemmy nanghihingi siya ng donation pag unang bukas lang hindi na uulit-ulit pa di gaya ng ads na segu-segundo meron nanaman

I use RIF on mobile, and on the desktop, RES and old.reddit.com. Would have been blissfully unaware of this shitstorm had not for an announcement not just from RIF, but also from RES about their impending demise.

I looked around to find alternatives, but since the ideals of the Fediverse appealed to me, and that I've already had a Mastodon account, I gravitated towards Lemmy.

To be fair, however, this is a pretty promising alternative (ignoring the political leanings of the devs and all).

I didn't know even RES is due next in the chopping block. RIP RES

Hindi na rin naman talaga under active development ang RES even before pa nung API price hike, so it was just a matter of time.

However, sa pagkakaala-ala ko sa announcement galing sa RES, affected rin sila ng API price spike. So, ayun, imbes na mamatay na lang sa kantandaan….

EDIT:

Lagay ko lang yung links dito sa mga announcements na ginawa ng RES

TL;DR: It's not quite dead, but the writing is on the wall.

Edit 2:

Edited Reddit links.
