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've gone through the whole site, and it does give little or no rationale for the supposed facts and figures they brought up; if there's a citation, it's questionable, and good God, people are still falling for all the bullshit over there.

Shit like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Philippines/comments/14frh19/fellow_filipinos_whats_your_opinion_on_this/

Editorially, we cannot find evidence of any overt political opinions being offered. This is a straight-up data-driven website with minimal bias. However, they sometimes utilize controversial sources such as data from Richard Lynn, who calculated IQ by country. His study has been accused of being racially biased.

I strongly recommend using original sources for citing information, such as the actual World Health Organization site, and the CIA World Factbook, which contains some at-a-glance figures per country.

Lol. Unfortunately it's too easy now to find a site that would show "facts" that agree with your narrative.

What are some good (and objective) sites to replace them? Maybe we can make a compilation of those sites here?
