    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.
