Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭

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.

How do you convince your friends to use the fediverse? (lemm.ee)

For the Philippines and Filipinos, Facebook seems to be the de facto "internet", especially with how Meta offers free access to mobile users (basic FB and Messenger) even without a data subscription.

It's free. It's convenient. Our friends and groups are already there.

So how do we encourage (or convince?) our friends to try out federated social networks?

I unfortunately prefer not to. I'd rather they find it out for themselves. There is no problem with my friends, just that they might also spread it to their friends (some of which, well, if you'd see their fb feed you'd not want them on here).

Then again, this being very "plain" looking kinda filters the chaff out, so there's that.
