Today’s Ask PHlemmings: What is one conspiracy theory that you actually believe?
Na minahal nya din ako

Our sidebar’s featured photo.
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.
Lol no, all he said was facts
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).
I won’t be surprised some of these are either of the YOLO mentality (like they want to do everything until 40), or planning to die young because they fear what’s like to be past 60.
Generally most of them would rather live the rest of their lives as overseas emigres.
Ok this is just hilarious. It’s funny how some subreddits are being clever with their protests. r/dndmemes is just straight up goblin rule 34 now.
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.
But i need my news about wrestliiiiing hahaha.
I know, right? Not about wrestling, pero may ganyang itch din ako kahit papaano. Laking tulong ng Teddit at yung Privacy Redirect for those times na talagang di ako makapagpigil na sumilip (at di naman kailangang makihalubilo dun).
Lagi kong nakakalimutan na may Teddit nga pala, will try to use that nalang. Salamat sa reminder.
Try mo yung Privacy Redirect na addon para di mo na kailangang isipin. Meron siyang option to replace Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, and Reddit (among others). Para pag may ma-click kang link to any of those you opt to replace (say, Reddit) i-eedit nya yung link.
Now, I have to specifically temporary disable redirection for Reddit, to go to Reddit (if I am checking my accounts for any comments/posts for anything na nag-macArthur).
18.1 yata hinihintay nila, sa 18 kasi pwedeng dumugin ng spam account
Aww, sana mabilis yung release ng 18.1.
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.
Edit: Ayan napasilip tuloy ako doon and found out that Couples For Christ have been gone for a while now, there’s a courier called HBK, and questions about phone brand and opening an OnlyFans account.
Thank you for the effort maglagay ng content dito para maengage ang members.
opening an OnlyFans account
Uhm… 👀
You know what, after reading some of the replies here, I’m starting to think of this place as some kind of a safe zone, a lounge where people can just relax and take a break from all of the havoc happening elsewhere online.
onga buti dumami na users kaya dami na rin posts+comments, sana dumami pa sa July 1
Sana nga rin. At sana yung mga matitino ang dumagsa dito. Lol!
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.
Ano nga ba nangyari kay Guitareater? Alam ko nadelete ang original account niya for some reason, pero yung second account niya naging inactive lang ba?
Judging from his semi-return last year, I think nag-decide siya iabandon yung r/PH voluntarily and just checked back in that one time. He wasn’t banned or anything.
Haha! Seriously hoping hindi pumunta dito ang feeling mod at yung mra na apparently conspiracy theorist din.
Ay, teka, anuyan? Hahaha! Parang nakakatakot mag-usisa. Blissfully ignorant ako sa mga kaganapan dun sa kabila eh.
Don’t worry about it nalang hahaha. Pero matagal na sila sa r/ph and sa opinion ko super problematic sila.
si pobautista ba ituu? Hahaha
Uy chismis 👀👀👀
feeling mod
Hindi kaya yung Redditor na pro-eugenics na palagi na-ba-ban nang more than 18 times using his alt accounts? Speaking of MRAs, wag nang pumunta si Shohei dito.
Okay naman. Kaso ung dose of irl drama ko wala dito kaya I use libreddit for offmychestph and rel advice ph HAHAH

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.
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.

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… as if r/casualPH wasn’t big enough.
Also, some people also wanting to get rid of the very things that make us Filipino, and expect to ape another supposedly advanced Asian culture, so posting threads about it. It’s that same supposedly “intelligent” mindset which brought us the likes of, duh, GetRealPhilippines and Defensor-Santiago.

Not wanting to toot my own horn but 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? Innova o Avanza?
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.
“What’s your favorite pancit canton?”
LMAO. I had to stop myself from flaming the Piattos flavor thread. If the mods really are quietly stepping away, I fully support it. We didn’t get the chance to troll protest like the other cool subs. I guess this is my consolation.
r/philippines is no longer a valuable place for anything Philippines. Some PSAs, natatabunan na rin dahil sa mga bwisit na imported socmed dramas na wala naman tayo, mga Redditors, walang pake.
Karma points instigate how good or bad you are on Reddit, so kung negative karma ka, they’ll proceed to call you as “troll” lol
What’s your favorite pancit canton?
Bruh…
Yeah, r/ph is kinda shitty now. Sana ni-utilize nila yung other filipino subreddits instead of just lumping it in one place. There’s AskPH, CasualPH, PHGaming etc. and if you like shitposting, there’s 2philippines4u but because r/ph is the biggest filipino subreddit they flocked to it and posted there because where will they get their sweet, sweet karma? And then there’s the screenshot posts. If screenshot ng news, sana man lang kahit dinagdag nila yung source instead na nagmamadali silang ipost para sa kuhhhrma. 😑😑
Just to add to this: us mods hate screenshot posts and editorialized titles because it makes it difficult to police duplicates and harms discussion.
Instead of just one thread from Philstar about (hypothetical lang) the onion cartel leader being arrested, you have three other threads. One is a link to a Twitter post by Philstar with the title “Unity pa more”, the second is a screenshot of their post from FB titled “Thoughts?”, and thirdly, the same link but with a slightly different headline. Then each thread has like 20 comments each that could have been collated into one.
Yung iba naman na kating kati mag-post, hindi nila masabi if may existing na ba kasi nga when they search for “onion cartels” hindi susulpot sa results yung tatlo because of the title… leading to more and more dupe threads.
Limang araw na lang (anim sa ibang bansa) tatanggalin na nila ang mga thrid party apps. Masaya na ako dito sa lemmy, medyo may bugs ang jeroba pero okay na man.
Oo nga eh. Wag na lang pansinin ang mga bugs and to an extent, di ko na rin talaga napapansin.
I have a ton of basil and no idea what to do with it. Any suggestions that’s not pesto?
Found out there are more than one way to make use of basil.
The hell we’re getting MLB fandom crossposts?
Akala ko ako lang. I’m not even subscribed to that.
Nagluto akong lasagna kasi birthday ni papa tapos ang funny ni mama, sobrang fineflex sa mga tita ko yung lasagna. Hahaha. Masarap naman daw.
naiinip na ako sa end of july papala hearing about ufo nagpprepare pa yata ng palusot yung MIB hahahaha https://www.newsnationnow.com/space/ufo/luna-lawmakers-bipartisan-ufo-hearing-july/

Meron ba ditong mga childfree? Yung r/ChildfreePhilippines more than 1k pero di naman active lol
Baka nag-quit Reddit na, haha.
Hahaha. Pweds. Yung r/childfree nga wala na daw eh. Lumipat na dito.
Saan instance sila?
Add ko sana sila sa PH fediverse sidebar.
Hindi yung PH sub yung sinasabi ko. Hahaha. Sorry ang gulo kong kausap.
Childish, meron! Joke!
Used to regularly take a peek at /r/childfree years back, pero di ko na rin kinaya yung tone nila dun. There’s only enough ways to say “being childfree is a choice!” “It’s a sin to make another soul undergo torment in this world!” or other stuff.
I get it, it’s difficult to live a childfree life, especially when surrounded by the conservative, religious-minded. I get the need to rant about it, pero susmiyo… Like, uh, parang ang hirap mag-tambay dun nang matagal.
Sorry for the rant ah.
It’s okay. I get what you mean. Medyo ganun nga doon. Naging lurker din ako. This year ko lang nalaman na may mga ganun palang sub. I remember months ago someone posted sa r/ph asking if may childfree people ba doon and their reasons why they chose to be so tapos ang daming nagreply. Napaisip lang ako kung andito din sila.
I was exposed to it and /r/antinatalism quite early on in my Reddit carreer. While I am sympathetic to their cause, I feel that the overall mood over at those subs are just a bit too much.
I suppose as more and more people find their way over here, a childfree community would arise here as well. I hope they won’t have as much toxicity as their Reddit counterparts.
Ako din. While karamihan sa friends and family members ko child-free, they’re not in the same boat as the typical card-carrying child-free that are just as annoying and toxic as those who keep on pestering singles/couples when they’re getting kids.
Tapos napanood ko pa yung kumakalat na vid about gen-Zs, and I just facepalmed hard on how cliche the answers were. Tbf, the “survey” was done in bad faith because why would you be asking inexperienced kids about parenting? Lmao.
I’m childfree myself, mostly by circumstance, but also partly by principle. Mostly, I adhere to a “if you think you’re up to it, best of luck!” kind of a stance. However, yeah, yung iba dun sa subs na yun (also /r/antinatalism) are just a bit too toxic in their beliefs to the point that it’s alienating.
Ang anti-climactic nung nangyari kay Prigozhin/Wagner. Parang si Crabfeeder lang, haha.
Fuckin crabfeeder. Tagal ng hype pero walang ka kwenta kwenta nung nasa screen na.
Patumal ng patumal yung rd natin :(
Tbf, mahina talaga RDs natin pag weekend, kahit nung sarado pa kabila. So, not surprised at all na career low yesterday now that the bulk of our members made a beeline back in there earlier this week.
It’ll be interesting how post-June 30 plays out, though. Will more people migrate here or come back? Maybe. I’m not so sure the Lemmy mobile apps provide a better experience than the native Reddit app for them to abandon ship.
I don’t mind. Better than dealing with self-haters and those avoiding reality.
Bahalasiladun. Haha
Like I said awhile ago, the community was just an echo chamber. Para sa mga Pinoy, walang resemblance ang Reddit API changes and most of them galing rin sa Facebook na baguhan lang sa Reddit.
yep what the hive mind decide is what the hive mind will follow since nag vote ang hive ng back to normal
But I’m glad I found this fediverse. It is interesting concept we first-handed experience. The current Lemmy helped me minimize doomscrolling on the Internet.
yep it has [prev] and [next] button, glad they’re not exploiting us
Well, it’s not that there’s a whole lot of us here, especially after the otherside has reopened. Also, mukhang tayong mga natira dito ay di rin naman ganun ka-daldal.
However, relatively speaking madada tayo compared to the other country subreddits here.
I’m proud of the fact that we only have 700 subscribers but the community is in the top 5 of most comments. Yung iba nasa 2-3k members but could barely muster half of that.
Nakakatuwa nga eh. Pero minsan parang napapa-“shet, ang ingay natin!” ako, lol!
I haven’t crunched the numbers, but I am guessing this community has the most posts per subscriber sa lahat ng lemmy/kbin country communities/magazines.
Hindi ko nakita yung Deutschland sa main page ah. They have half our members and just behind a little on comments.
Still, number two is pretty awesome considering it’s only a handful of us from r/PH.
Di ko rin gets kung anong default sorting method na gamit for the community list (both all and local), but I checked just now and it’s near the bottom of the first page here.
And yeah, I think it’s not bad at all.
Another new Lemmy app has joined, simply called Lemming.
Just installed it. I’m not a fan of the tiled cards and you can’t customize anything yet, but other than that it’s not too bad. May distinction for the OP, pages are displayed like you’d want it to, and it’s clean.

I recently played Hill Climb Racing 2 on my smartphone and these Coin Master and TongIts Go whatever extensively popped during gameplays, and I never turned on my Google’s personalized ads settings. I can assume our geo-based Internet ads are filled with gambling-themed
It’s been awhile since I fully disconnected to a VPN tunnel, and I thought chocolate ads from EU and mobile plan ads and skin care products from JP and SG were shit. May mas malala pa pala… haha.
