Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­


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.

Good morning guys, I don't have Facebook anymore so just wanna ask if Threads and Egg Party(which PaoLUL played) is popular right now?

[–] rman0159@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Threads is becoming popular among users because of Twitter's reading limits implemented by Musk. However, there are other users switching to alternatives like Blue Sky and Mastodon.

Goodbye, Reddit, for good. My requested data is ready for download.

I decided to deactivate my Threads account. Yes, I know it's still there and I can't delete it. But at least it's away from public view.

Nakakairita how the influencers/celebrities inorganically generate engagement by posting dumb questions... which then gets recommended to me. Balik Mastodon na lang ako where it's peace and quiet.

On the fence with deactivating threads, as (thankfully) influencers haven't spilled over their junk content threads onto mine.

But with the fediverse coming extremely close to threads, i might deactivate soon without even so much of a "hello who's there" post on threads lmao

Meta’s β€˜friendly’ Threads collides with unfriendly internet

β€œIf an account or server, or if we find many accounts from a particular server, is found violating our rules then they would be blocked from accessing Threads, meaning that server’s content would no longer appear on Threads and vice versa,” she said.

β€œWith federation, the metadata that big platforms use to tie accounts to a single actor or detect abusive behavior at scale aren’t available,” said Stamos. β€œThis is going to make stopping spammers, troll farms, and economically driven abusers much harder.”

I like how Meta (and an ex-Meta) is framing interoperability with the fediverse that they are the ones that's potentially going to be the problem, lol.

Surprised to see some activity on our Raddle sister community, albeit from non-PH posters that were amused by the MMDA's choice for an acronym. πŸ˜†

[–] megane_kun@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At least it's not about MILF, again. πŸ˜‚

[–] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Funny thing is, the next article I posted was about the MILF, completely unaware that it followed the MMDA one.

So Angat Dam is reaching critical levels with El NiΓ±o just around the corner.

Time to do the John Lloyd-Sarah Geronimo rain dance and let all the offkey singers belt out their greatest hits.

[–] megane_kun@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I sometimes wonder if desalination is a viable solution to our water problems.

But then again, it might be more cost-effective to just build more dams to store water during the rainy season.

[–] ExploringLiterature@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm not that educated on the subject, but last I've read (sparse and a long time ago), is that these plants cost a fuck-ton of money. We'll see how it goes. Now that you mention it, might as well watch a docu on this.

Crossposted from the orangered place:

It seems many of my workmates have resigned for greener pastures. Parang gusto ko nang mag-resign sa current ko dahil mababa yung binigay na salary increase recently. I've been looking for other jobs sa ibang companies, pero not sure kung saan ang better. Baka i-lowball nila ako sa offer hehehe

Normal ba na agawan ng isang 13 yr old na agawan at itago ang mga laruan ng 2 yr old? Pag may bagong toy kasi ung kapatid nya, sinisira, tinatago o naagaw nung kapatid nyang 13 yr old.

[–] harry_nola@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Ah, oh. You need to give the talk. If you can talk to your thirteen year old in a way na hinde accusatory or pagalit.

Is is possible that she/he/they need attention, and maybe talk it out?

Why do websites insist on using this font (Roboto, I think)? It's very hard to read.

It's also the font on our ModMail, which explains why I often do not check our inbox.

Personally I prefer Archivo Regular 400 and upwards and depending on use case, point size of the type can vary. The light versions are too thin imho. Futura and I do have some saved font collections but i forget the names. As long as the spacing between letters is good (aimed for readability, not for Taylor Swift quotes, with no attack on Taylor herself), shapes easily contrast from the background, provided that proper color is used too. Eh, but I'm just mindlessly rambling at this point lmao.

Also, the all white and thin font is painful to look at (sorry). No option to customize to a high-contrast layout option? Me thinks Roboto would do well say in a dark background and neon colored font (thank you Microsoft VSC)

[–] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Capriola and Montserrat used to be my go-to body fonts when I was still blogging. Granted, the audience was just me, but I thought it was very legible and looks good on a wall of text.

Not something I would use on a formal document, however.

I am not sure if I should be doing this, but hell....

For the handful of us who've moved (temporarily or otherwise) to lemm.ee, there's currently a consultation going on about defederation from Meta's Threads. Upvoting the post means you're in favor of defederation.


EDIT:

I was wrong in calling that thread a vote. Changed "there's currently a vote going on about defederation..." to "there's currently about a consultation going on about defederation". At any rate, it's not a vote.

Lemmy ML just put the hammer down and said kthxbye to threads link

[–] megane_kun@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's kinda expected from lemmy.ml to do that. The only other instances I expected to act right away are lemmygrad and hexbear. But lemm.ee? Caught me by surprise, lol!

[–] ExploringLiterature@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Supporting lemm.ee's decision. Big companies rarely do good when invited into independent spaces.

already upvoted because meta can stay where it is, it doesn't need to mix with my lemmy instance

[–] megane_kun@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I really hope lemmy.world follows suit, but given the statement lemmy.world admins made, it's still up in the air, if ever.

[–] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Question is, what exactly constitutes as "see" in their wait-and-see approach? By the time you realize anything nefarious, it's already too late.

I'm really not used to working on my supposed day off, I'm feeling so lazy and unproductive at work right now. And I'm not particularly motivated to work on a good day lol.

Watching The Addams Family rn and this movie is one scene away from being an x rated film because of the charity auction scene lol. Couple goals talaga sina Gomez at Morticia.

Anyone tried squabbles yet? Is it good?

Good evening, peeps.
