As you can tell from the 1 visitor average per day for the last year (aka. me lol), this community is pretty much dead. No one is reading this as well, but in case you wander here while bored โ I'm sticking a fork on Lemmy PH. No more monthly threads or news posts, at least from me.
It started out strong and was brimming with potential, but once r/PH reopened, 90% of the posters made a beeline back to the sub. The rest who decided to stick, slowly packed their bags as well. I don't appreciate being made a joke in Discord, but hey, such is life and the reality of protests.
Thanks for giving this community a shot! It was a fun first month or so! I'm focusing my attention to UndustFixation now, which has been keeping me busy outside of work, actually. Stay safe!
Edit: Shout out to u/gradenko_2000 who saw the protests as performative and took it a step further by not going back to Reddit at all and refusing repeated invites to Lemmy.
Yeah, to be honest.. I've never interacted with reddit that much, so when I used Lemmy, it's a bit hard to change that attitude, since my main social media always has been Youtube (Alt sites don't have as many of the interesting content creators I watch, especially educational and philosophical channels) So I've been drifting on and off Lemmy, thought hopefully it grows, I just wish I can spend more time helping a small community, but I got IRL (haha hay nako ang nakaka-stress ang paaralan talaga) stuff and other creative communities have only a small presence or no presence here, unfortunately. Even now, I might just drift off later, and forget I had a Lemmy account, so.. good luck, I guess, and we'll see what happens! (Hopefully mabuti haha)
