An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! π΅π
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 have no issue with it though I think it should remain as a novelty instead of forcing us all to use it.
Agree here. It's cool and fun to some extent but it's extremely limiting as well considering modern Filipino borrows various words that won't work well with the alphabet.
This is concerning to me as well. I hope there would be a standardized, modernized version of baybayin that is maintained by some governing body (not necessarily a government body, it could be a committee composed of academics and scholars) that would sort this kind of issue, and a lot more (such as how it can be supported on computers and smartphones). Text entry is also an issue I want to be standardized (providing a set, or several, of standards on how text entry should be handled).
