Philippines/Pilipinas

I thought it was a problem with the site or my phone but my work VPN is able to access Mastodon.Social. I was able to use someone's Globe mobile data to access the site and it worked. I was wondering if its an isolated problem with PLDT on my IP block or is the whole service infrastructure having issues connecting to Mastodon.

I've been on Lemmy since 3rd quarter of last year and the two PH communities have always existed. Isn't it about time we merge?

In addition to joining the blackout protest, why not joining lemmy or kbin instead?

Talagang kurap na ang buong Reddit dahil sa dagdag presyo ng API doon. Tapos mawawala ang akses ng third-party reddit clients.

Anyways, Happy 125th Independence Day!

Hello everyone! I'm an ex-redditor who was suspended from the Snoosite on January 6th for apparently harassment, but I clearly didn't do anything that could harass.

If you're from r/PH, please follow the rules of your current instance, as well as announcements from lemmy.ml admins.

Reddit is on verge of decline and I hope some people from r/PH will find this community useful. Please note that the instance where I am now is almost at the levels of lemmygrad.ml, which means it's facist-free and bigotry-free.

Anyways welcome to Lemmy and the Fediverse!

Are any fellow immigrants from Reddit here? Hope r/Philippines joins the blackout this June 12!

Has anyone tried the #Philippines Travel Level Map? It's crazy that I scored 105 but it feels like I've only been to a few places.

I did this last night, but it took me until today because I'm not familiar with the regions of the places I've been to 🤣

Magandang araw / hapon / gabi po!

Ako po si Ayo Ayco, isang web developer na ngayon ay imigrante sa Netherlands, simula noong nakaraang taon (January 2022)

Mahilig ako magpost ng tungkol sa tech, jokes o mga muni-muni, kadalasan sa pangunahing account ko na English: @[email protected]

Balak ko dito sa account na ito ay puro Tagalog/Filipino na post para sa mga kaibigan/kapamilya sa Pilipinas, pati na rin sa mga bagong makikilala dito.

\#introductions #filipino #pinoy @pilipinas

Ever since r/Philippines (source) was turned into a Filipino Facebook spinoff, I found this Lemmy community about my country.

This is not what we want to copy Filipino Facebook.

This sounds fabricated just to weaken the accused's credibility in a court of public opinion.

Doesn't sound very professional to me.

What a terrible day to be a journalist.

What a traversty for Privacy in the Philippines.

Quite ironic. Once again, the PH tests the effectiveness of their justice system when son of the DoJ haa been caught in a controlled delivery operation picking up one kilo of Kush. The DoJ secretary and his brother, current Governor of Cavite, claim they will not use their power to protect the accused.

After 100 days into his presidency, Marcos signs a law for the first time. However, privacy advocates question the details of the law and fear that it may be used to hunt down critics of his administration.

Unsure of how enforceable this is but the more you know, the better.

Edited Update: Several of the country's biggest universities' student governments have also been calling for the suspension of classes in protest of the Marcos-Duterte presidency:

• De La Salle University (and it's sister college, Benilde)
• Far Eastern University
• University of Santo Tomas
• Ateneo de Manila University
• Polytechnic University of the Philippines

Many of them are organizing to protest at the Commission of Election headquarters in Manila. Not sharing photos, some protesters unmasked.

The Canadian whistle-blower says Strategic Communication Laboratories, Cambridge Analytica’s parent company, found the Philippines an ideal target and used proxies here

> Questionable rule of law, high social media usage, and corrupt politicians. These 3 conditions, according to Cambridge Analytica (CA) whistle-blower Christopher Wylie, made countries like the Philippines a perfect place to test their techniques and technology.

>“It creates an ideal petri dish type situation,” Wylie added, “where you can experiment on tactics and techniques that you wouldn’t be able to as easily in the West…and if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter, you won’t get caught. And if it does work, then you can then figure out how to port that into other countries."
