Before anything else, IANAL and TINLA.

The #Philippines, like South #Korea, have a law that “exempts a family who commit theft, swindling and malicious mischief from criminal liability exists”.

You can read more about it here: https://attorney.org.ph/legal-news/53-strange-laws-you-never-knew-existed-part-12-of-15-family-members-who-commit-theft-are-not-criminally-liable

This is probably what the police meant. Though, should have been still liable for civil.

Or, maybe, there is an IRR that states anything under a certain amount + it falls under this exemption, is indeed not qualified even if only for civil.

I think, the idea behind it is to encourage it being solved within the family instead of the family unit being destroyed because family members and relatives are filing cases against each other.

Again, IANAL and TINLA.

Tell your “friend” that their best course of action is to consult with an attorney.

@[email protected] Excellent!

One place to check all the groups/communities/magazines. ^_

@[email protected] Only for #Lemmy instances, or are you open for the entire #Fediverse ( #ActivityPub ) network?

I have these in my own list:
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected] -- #1 most active in the entire fediverse
- [email protected]
- [email protected]

@[email protected] Regardless, it doesn't really matter.

Are you guys from the /r/philippines subreddit and trying to find a new home? Or, you just want to start a new #Philippines community in the #fediverse network?

If it is the latter, then we already have well-established communities like @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] ^_

So, keeping @[email protected] is perfectly fine, you don't really have to move. The more communities we have in other instances, the better. Redundancy and continuity.

It means that, if one community hosted in a different instance goes offline (temporarily or permanently), the other Philippines communities in other instances are still intact. Those affected can move to the other existing communities. It happened before (an instance went offline, temporarily) and it almost happened again (permanently).

However, if you are the /r/philippines subreddit, since you have an existing community you are migrating over to the fediverse, then yes, choose the instance you want to be hosted on. One where you can get a guarantee that they will do everything they can to stay online for the next 20 years. Otherwise, you risk breaking the community if the instance suddenly goes offline.

Does that make any sense? ^_

For me, strictly about features, go for #Kbin. ^_

@[email protected] True that. Hopefully it will come. I want to remove my reliance on Goodreads since I'm not using it other than to track. And the authors I follow are more active outside of Goodreads. 😅 (Some are even here on the fediverse network.)

@[email protected]

@[email protected] I used to use #Anobii as well, it was far better than #Goodreads in its early days, unfortunately, the latter overtook them. Now, most of my shelves are on Goodreads.

You can go self-hosting mode. You can self-host #BookWyrm, or the traditional, ever reliable, #Calibre. ^_ I no longer use Calibre because Goodreads.

On the BookWyrm side of things, it can import your books from Goodreads.

@[email protected] Hopefully it gets fixed soon. It could be a great way to bridge “groups” and “Threads”.

And quite honestly, between Lemmy and Kbin, the latter works well with federation. With the former, I often experience a 50-50 chance regardless which instance and which fedi software I use.

I got confused there… “Mastodon Guppe Groups” and then there is a #fediverse hashtag.

Initially I thought it was a typo… but now I'm not sure since Chris is aware of the “fediverse”.

But, yes, you can subcribe to #Friendica and #Guppe groups in Kbin. They turn into a #Kbin “Magazine” (with a microblog tab) if you search for it in a Kbin instance.

However, currently, there seems to be a bug. See my post: https://c.im/@youronlyone/110528686804356505 or https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/90

To summarise, if you post a Kbin “Thread” (not post/microblog), any Kbin accounts that replies to it will not be received by a Guppe group.

(Also note, since people get confused, I tested this on fedia.io not kbin.social. The flagship server, kbin.social, is currently behind Cloudflare which is blocking most fediverse requests. The fedia.io is working fine.)

@[email protected] Good question!

1. Cancel culture, we don't need that foreign culture here.

2. taking photos/videos of anyone without asking for permission with the intention of shaming them. It is a violation of their #Privacy to mention one (there are others).

3. #Copyright infringement - using, translating, creative derivative works, re-uploading/re-distributing someone else's work without permission or license.

4. The foolish #CTTO (Credit-To-The-Owner), because if you don't have a permission or a license to use, re-use, re-upload/re-distribute, translate, create derivative works, of someone's work, it still is Copyright infringement.

5. Threatening to and shaming people who are failing / failed to pay the money they borrowed. It is a violation of their Privacy.

🤔 Those are the ones I can think of right now.

On that note: Happy 🇵🇭 #IndependenceDay from #Spain! #June12 #Philippines!
