As of June 19 2023, r/Philippines is open, public and up! - Lemmy.world

gonna miss /r/ph because i'm not joining back. Obviously, I support the protest against reddit cause they don't make any adjustments that will benefit users since day one protest. Fediverse, even though feels underdeveloped, is in good position to start a community that don't rely on big corporations. Ganda rin supportahan ang FOSS community, kahit di ka developer you can contribute to the growth just by using the service.
What I'm worried is if reddit is open to the public and let investors have interest on reddit then there will be more bots, more ads and they will treat redditors how they'll treat people in youtube, twitter and etc.
mukang yun talaga balak ni spez, less profitable daw kasi sila
yung ads na comment type, nakakatakot. akala mo tao pero ads pala
already happening naman na yun sa reddit, yung iba nagiging popular post dahil naboost ng bots, pag inenspect mo yung mga comments, yung mga account na usually yung name ay compose of 2 words and 4 digit number sa dulo, < 30day old account, nagiisang comment na positive tungkol dun sa post, then marami sila, nakakatawa yung mga unaware magrereply dun, di nila alam promotional bots lang hahhaha

more bots, more ads

Nakakatakot kung puro AI ang mga users at mods. Plus, dadami ang mga astroturfers by disguising themselves as ordinary commenters. Isama na ang mga state-sponsored psyops na ginagawa ng mga authoritarian governments.
