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.

it seems like the anti-natalist mindset is starting to take root in /r/Philippines and would like to hear what the fediverse has to say about it

Disclaimer : I'am a proponent of anti-natalism mainly cause of how messed up things have gotten from economy , politics and even societal norms I don't necessarily wish for the extinction of the human race but rather for a paradigm shift on how we can break free from the infinite growth mindset given that we live in a finite world

I don't think anti-natalism has anything to do with it. It's a belief alien/contradictory to the lower classes anyway. Even teenage pregnancies have declined substantially and kids don't fuck with the intent to raise family.

If I have to guess, based on the timeline, COVID (which is known to spread through bodily fluids) probably scared people into not having sex.
