    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.

      I think lemmy gives the old school vibe of reddit. I think thats why people are somewhat fine with it. But time well tell if people willing to keep the engagement here.

        From the threads I’ve seen, yeah, that’s the consensus.

        Ang talagang reklamo lang ng iba is yung lack of content, which I think eh mareresolba rin naman sa katagalan.
