Today’s Ask PHlemmings: What is one conspiracy theory that you actually believe?

Na minahal nya din ako
(2) 🥲
Conspiracy theory talaga 🥲🥲🥲
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
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?
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.
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.
Thank you for the effort maglagay ng content dito para maengage ang members.
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.

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.

One other thing about karma farming and why we’re always on the lookout for it: people deliberately inflate it so they could sell the account. It is then used to astroturf or even more evil purposes like scamming in marketplaces. Sa r/thevisoria nga lang, we get those requests semi-regularly to the point I had to make a specific rule about it — pano pa kaya sa mga bigger classified ads subs?
Kaya sometimes may makakalusot na karma farm if it appears to be from a legit user. Annoying yes, but nothing nefarious per se. But someone na walang history sa r/PH at all, posting thread after thread after thread about “Anong kwentong commute mo” or “What is the best burger and why is it not Champ?” — we try to shut that shit down quickly.
Karma points are no different to YouTube’s and Facebook’s Internet points.
I’m still LMFAO when most kakampinks migrated from Facebook to Reddit, dahil “walang peknews at mindful” ang mga Redditor. Oh boy…
deleted by creator
Yeah, bruh, those “points.” Kung wala kang trillion Internet points, kawawa ka. lol
Sites like this has helped me greatly in checking out where my subscribed subreddits have gone to: https://sub.rehab/ I also find myself sometimes idly browsing
Allon the off chance that I’ll discover some community I would like.And yeah, there might be a lot of fence sitters, but I think after the wave that’s coming after the end of this month, things will quiet down. From then on, it’s really up to us already here if Lemmy/Kbin will be a thing, or it’d just be a fad. Network effect is a hell of a drug, but if there ends up a stable and engaged population here, creating and consuming content, it’s already a win in my book.
Hello, fellow all-browser.
Yeah, really interested how things will change by the end of the month. Pakiramdam ko nga ph irc days ulit at parang fresh nanaman ang community dito. Lmao
IRC!!! Parang mas magulo ata yung naging buhay ko nung nasa IRC pa ako eh. But then again, that cozy feeling kasi halos lahat kayo magkakakilala? Yeah!
Nung andun pa ako sa kabila, I never would have even dared think talking to other people in a thread like this. Di ko nga pinapansin yung Random Discussion threads dun eh.
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!
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.
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.
Okay naman. Kaso ung dose of irl drama ko wala dito kaya I use libreddit for offmychestph and rel advice ph HAHAH
Hahahaha! Ang sama ng mental image na na-imagine ko! Parang pinapanood natin sila from a secure location, parang massive multiplayer online version ng Big Brother house, tapos tayo ang audience. 😅
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).

Aww, sana mabilis yung release ng 18.1.
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.

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.
Lemmy consists of 80% literacy and 20% of photos/GIFs. I love reading, especially the thread na pasok sa niche ko. Reddit was once like that, but now it becomes “hieroglyphic” and full of “imported stuffs.”
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.

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.
Good morning PHLemmies! Have a great sunday ✨
Good afternoon!
Nakakatamad pag Sunday, bukas May gagawin ulit.

Akala ko ako lang. I’m not even subscribed to that.
“I can’t say my feelings for you will be the same, but one things for sure, I loved you, but you changed you want my heart back then but you want my money now”
POTANG INA MO SPEZ, ANG GANDA GANDA NG INFINITY SOBRANG SMOOTH, MAS SMOOTH PA SA JERBOA PERO ANO GINAWA MONG POTANG INA KA, I’LL MISS THIS FOR SURE, RIP INFINITY I USED THIS APP CIRCA 2020-2023

I’m fucking sure na yung mga gumagamit ng 3rd party mapipilitan mag Lemmy dahil sa frustration, posible sa mga ilang araw di pa sila mairita, pero haha mga ilang araw maiinis nadin yan, matagal nako di gumamit nung official app years na pero nung huli kong gamit nag iinit cp ko tas mabilis malobat parang yung official fb app mabilis din kasi makalobat yun, tas yun nga mabagal tas may ads pa haha
Spez going to smear those Redditors’ analytics from mobile apps. It’s juicier than Tender Juicy.
new app (
liftoff), apk available na sa github if you want to test, but install at your own riskIs this for iOS? They badly need more options there with Mlem restricting testers.
