As you can tell from the 1 visitor average per day for the last year (aka. me lol), this community is pretty much dead. No one is reading this as well, but in case you wander here while bored — I'm sticking a fork on Lemmy PH. No more monthly threads or news posts, at least from me.
It started out strong and was brimming with potential, but once r/PH reopened, 90% of the posters made a beeline back to the sub. The rest who decided to stick, slowly packed their bags as well. I don't appreciate being made a joke in Discord, but hey, such is life and the reality of protests.
Thanks for giving this community a shot! It was a fun first month or so! I'm focusing my attention to UndustFixation now, which has been keeping me busy outside of work, actually. Stay safe!
Edit: Shout out to u/gradenko_2000 who saw the protests as performative and took it a step further by not going back to Reddit at all and refusing repeated invites to Lemmy.
It was hard, as I myself don’t start topics :( Maybe I am “trained” by reddit that when I start threads, I get attacked or banned. This it not specific to r/ph page. I got banned from a “music enthusiast” reddit group, when my first post was asking for recommendations on headphones or something.
Going back to the topic. Does this mean this community is officially closed and will be deleted? I don’t think I’ll go back to reddit even if this community closes. Yes, I’ll still be sad, but I’m sticking to my decision to leave reddit.
Community will remain open. I just won't be starting anymore monthly chat threads or talking to myself.
