Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! โœˆ๏ธ


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ


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.

I'm not in this for personal glory. I don't even use my real name! When people say thanks, they say UndustFixation or Undust and not the person/pseudonym behind it. Those who personally know me are well aware of my anxiety with attention and getting praise. When I make donations, I do it anonymously. Of course, I kind of went against what I'm saying by posting here โ€” but it had to be said just to underscore my point. Because this idea that I'm some famewhore that demands credit is just patently false.

I'm also not in the hobby out of some phony platitude about saving the industry or anything like that. Most probably are (and kudos to them for that), but not me. I'm into archiving because I want to be able to enjoy what I used to see (or missed) at my own pace. That's it, plain and simple.

Uploading it is optional and secondary, as I want others to chime in on what they think or know about the clips. I am not obligated to provide the community with non-watermarked videos and no one is forcing them to watch. I don't care if your viewing experience is ruined. If it's too bothersome, no one is stopping you from going out there and doing your own archiving. In fact, you'd be doing the community a huge service by dipping your toes in instead of whinging.

Maybe "archivist" or "preservationist" is not the right label for me, and you probably should stop referring to me as one to avoid setting the wrong expectations. I guess, curator??
