      Wait, what?? I don’t follow this kind of news, but is this because of Eat Bulaga moving to TV5 and taking over Showtime’s timeslot? I remember reading people commenting about how there might be an Eat Bulaga–Showtime combo.

          Ah, I see. Thanks!

          One version of this combo I’ve read somewhere is Showtime getting an earlier timeslot.

          Personally speaking, sayang. I was kinda looking forward to such a combo—with a crossover portion between the two shows with lighthearted jabbing between the two shows’ casts.

        not really, kaya nandito tayo eh, well the result is not what we hopefully expected, pero naging aware tayo na may better alternatives, may cons oo, pero in the long term. fediverse is much better.

      I’m already expecting answers such as “Dragonball Z”, “Yu Yu Hakusho”, or “Fushigi Yuugi.”

      Para maiba naman, I’ll answer with my favorite underrated 90’s anime. Time Quest. I don’t even know if it even was famous in Japan but I like how wacky and weird it is (even though it’s pretty much tame in hindsight).

          Damn, I never expected anyone else to remember this anime. Pero yun nga, naala-ala ko pa, palipat-lipat naman ako ng channel para lang mapanood ko sila ng sabay.

              Also, wait a second, iisang channel ba sila at magkasunod? Na-ulyanin na ata ako.

                  I do remember na nag-palipat-lipat ako ng channel dati, but I can’t remember exactly why. Basta ang alam ko may dalawang show ako na pinapanood at the same timeslot (baka Marimar??) at sinusubukan ko silang panoorin ng sabay.

            We just belong to a different era with different tastes. It’s not just animation quality I’m talking about here, but also the art style.

            Also, I think it’s been overrated by the older generation (like me) which just is not “cool” with the young ones.

      I must admit that last week, I actually looked at how one can create a bot here in Lemmy.

      If memory serves me right, I was looking at this repo, but decided it’s a bit too much for me to understand, much less use and do something useful with it. It does have the functionality to automatically create posts in a community, however.

    In a few minutes after nitong hinihintay kong code deployment, I’ll be off na sa work (huhu finally). Long day nga talaga hehe. Good mornight dearest strangers. Salamat, salamat! Share lang ulit bago matulog (skip na lang ulit 😉).

    Posting in the daily threads back there and here really helped me a lot in many aspects of my life. It seems like I’m heading towards having this one being my last post in a while. Something tells me na I really have to do it, and this time I will finally listen.

    Well, if I’m going to push for it starting today, I know I’ll miss this, but I’ll miss y’all specifically. But yeah, I will keep my profile undeleted, both here and there - open book na din sa mga mapapadpad upang malaman ang mga dapat at hindi dapat tularan hehe. And one day I will look back at my posts and remember that I was once at this juncture - lost, confused, overwhelmed - pero I found my way eventually.

    So yeah, until next time dearest dreamers. See you at the movies! 💝

      If the protests are really such a failure as some people say, we wouldn’t see actions such as:

      • ordering (some other) subreddit(s) to open, lest the mod team be replaced by those who are more compliant
      • making interviews all over and telling that the protests are a failure (if they are a failure, why talk about it, you wouldn’t want to put a spotlight on them, would you?)

      I think that the resulting media coverage alone, forcing Reddit to go on a PR tour all over mainstream media, is success enough. It has also led some advertisers to pause their campaigns on Reddit.

      Sentiment on Reddit is not reliable as well. Ignoring (chat) bots and plants, those who have remained are more skewed towards being on Reddit’s side of the fight. The others, like us here, have already moved elsewhere, and some others still are boycotting the site. That means that our voices are not heard on Reddit anymore (not that I am interested in making my voice heard over there—not after I’ve gotten convinced that it doesn’t matter).

      The protests have succeeded in doing at least one thing: giving the people the push to move onto other alternatives. It also arguably succeeded in putting the highlight on the problems users have against Reddit. It also could probably be argued as spooking advertisers enough to put their campaigns on Reddit on a temporary hold.

      In the end, it’s just a matter of what you think the protests are aiming for, and to what extent. If you think the protests are such that Reddit gives in and relents on the API price spike, then yeah, sure, it failed hard. I think, however, that getting Reddit to relent is but a bonus.

        I agree I don’t think its a failure either we all knew that reddit will not revert their decision. In back of our minds were probably thinking any alternative here. What I took from this protest made me realize there are other alternative to reddit. I was already aware of fediverse in general, but that was when twitter did their moment but I’m not a fan of those kind of social media. But being introduced with lemmy and creation of filipino community made the push to choose this as my main social media/forum.

          Yes. Yun lang na na-expose tayo sa alternatibo sa Reddit malaking bagay na eh. But to be honest, I was also part of the migration to Voat a while back. It was not my proudest moment, but one of the communities I was in back then decided to move over there (to Voat). I didn’t even participate over there once I’ve seen the kind of people I was with. Nakaka-walang-gana.

          That’s why I was one of the people who are skeptical of any Reddit alternatives. Napaso na ako sa Voat eh.

          This time is different, however. Dun pa lang sa vibe na nadatnan ko dito, ibang-iba kaysa sa nadatnan ko sa Voat. I wasn’t able to participate prior to the blackouts since nakikiramdam pa lang ako. And then here we are right now.

          Sorry sa rant ah. But yeah, if there’s one thing that the protests have achieved, it’s making people aware that there are better alternatives out there.

        You’ll see some people comment that making all the content John Oliver will also drive traffic to the site because of the media coverage. This is true to some extent, but when that’s all your content, people will get bored and move elsewhere. It will work if the way the subs are maliciously complying don’t stop and a lot of subs join in.

          Traffic to the site will increase because people are gawking at the trainwreck that Reddit is, and like gawking at burning wreckage, it gets boring eventually. As you’ve said, people will get bored and move elsewhere.

          That, or it’d do a Twitter, attracting Musk-suckers enough to keep the traffic flowing.

          Or maybe we’re just doing wishful thinking here, lol! IDK.

            Sabagay, buhay pa rin ang Twitter kahit sa dami ng kagaguhan na ginawa ni musk hahahaha. Importante lang na dumami ang subs na magparticipate, kasi pwede pumunta sa ibang subreddits ang mga bumisita para sa ginagawa ng r/pics at yung ibang subreddits.

              Yeah.

              However, to be honest, I do not care about what happens to Reddit beyond June 30th. It could do a Digg or a Twitter for all I care. I don’t even care about getting people to migrate to alternatives too. I think Lemmy and Kbin combined already has enough people for organic growth on their own even without another wave of migrants. People just have to get used to a thinner, finite feed while more creators trickle in from elsewhere as the Threadiverse gets more traction.

              That is to say, for me personally, I consider the protests a success even if only because they’ve got people to move here and to the other alternatives, giving them the traction they need to kickstart their own progress.

        I took it to mean that it won’t be locked for a long time since di naman umaabot ng 300 ang replies sa mga RD.

        It’d be more like a weekly random discussion thread, I suppose? We just need to pull more people over to this side, or make more noise ourselves if we want our daily RD’s back.

              Reddit

              I haven’t been going to Reddit since the blackout. Well, pasilip-silip lang when someone shares a saucy link lmao, but that’s it.

              Raddle

              It’s still alive, mostly because the admin of the other Philippines community is posting links. I do too at least once a day. It’s certainly second in terms of the other Reddit alternatives I’ve seen (decent UI, no slowdowns), wala nga lang activity at all beyond the two of us.
