Obviously, mods don't have a clear stance yet.
Which should be fine if they wanted to listen to what the community has to say first.
Which becomes bad because redditors just do not care.
No matter what tho, the mods are fucked because there is no way to appease both parties.
It's just too bad that there was a lack of preparedness and grit.
Someone else volunteering to mod will ruin the 1 post/day rule. But these do bring the lolz specially World Appreciation month
Edit: but i am seeing other subs go this route. Other things i've seen are stupidly strict rules getting enforced to kill the sub.

We still need to prevent reddit admins from stepping in and replacing mods for disrupting the sub. Which is why other subs are making a big show of making a poll and just following what wins (i.e. they changed sub rules to follow community decision rather than disruptively deciding to remove it of their own accord). Letting admins know that it's rotting because of reddit decision and not because of mod decision.
No matter what tho, even if the mods do get replaced (and with lackluster moderation tools), it's never going to return to the same old r/PH. Ang takot ko lang naman ay makitang mahalintulad sa sino yung sub.
I just wanted to express why I opposed dickbutt. But the sub can theoretically just open a poll on what to do next. Just needs to be PH-adjacent.
Personally, to show solidarity, I'd love it to be all about this episode: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19899438/plotsummary/?ref_=tt_ov_pl
To not scare any other instances from defederalization and for the piracy to reach as broadly as it can, we need to be within all "legal" limits. The subreddit survived for so long (and is now desired by reddit themselves? Lol) because our incredible mods kept it so. So let's continue with that trend here. Rule 3 also makes us all better pirates in the long run.
Has to be better than that.
Pics/Videos/GIFs of John Oliver still fall within the sub name (r/pics, r/videos, r/GIFs) which implicitly places limitations on the theme surrounding the sub. They also conducted polls where the outcome was decided by the community. This way, mods have technically complied with reddit rules and are shown not to own the sub, hence, are simply allowing it to open according to community decision. This allows the mods to keep their positions and not get replaced by the worst people (for example, the worst case scenario is getting an apologist replacing the mods).
Dickbutts are a few too many degrees away from what r/Philippines should be about and might get the mods replaced for disrupting the sub. Just look at how r/interestingasfuck is going to comply with admin demands by just removing all subreddit rules (i.e. post anything you find interesting).
That's the kind of malicious compliance we want.
It's more than that since it involves more than Taiwan. China is now trying to claim larger part of the seas and everybody else is disliking it.
