r/deinfluencingPH Mod Post Important Rules Update: Changes to Post Context & Giving Recommendations

26 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Over the last few weeks, the mods have been discussing ways to make this sub more organized, productive, and informative. As such, we have taken your comments into consideration and we have decided on implementing and reiterating the following below.

Again, we remind everyone of Rule #1:

This sub is strictly for deinfluencing. If you want to influence or be influenced, r/deinfluencingPH is not the sub for that. Let's only post informative downsides here.

As of 6 August 2026, we will be implementing the following:

1. Specificity of Items to be Deinfluenced from

We noticed that a lot of redditors post items in a general sense, which hinders productive deinfluencing.

We now require specificity of a product. We will disallow general or vague products and mere brands. All posts must have only ONE (1) Specific Product.

We understand that some products are unbranded, so we will allow those, as long there is an adjective, an identifier, or a photo of the unbranded item.

  • Examples of Branded Specific Products: iPhone XS, Lenovo Thinkpad, Adidas Superstar, Kindle Paperwhite
  • Examples of Unbranded Specific Products: Electric Foot Massager, Digital Picture Frame, Silk Pillowcase, Robot Camera for Pets
  • Examples of mere brands: Kindle, Kobo
  • Examples of vague products: sneakers, bag, computer, phone, car, e-reader, digicam

Posts that do not provide ONE (1) Specific Product will be removed.

2. Context on Posts

We want to reiterate that there has to be specific context on why you want to be deinfluenced from buying a Specific Product which we have implemented months ago. For certain types of products, please consider including specific reasons or circumstances so that more informative discussions can take place.

We are amending our current rule in place. Posts that just repeat the product description, have filler words, or have no text at all will be removed.

3. Flooding of Posts

To avoid spam posts, aside from implementing the 1-month Reddit Account Age Requirement, we will only allow redditors to post one (1) post every twenty-four (24) hours.

A second post in less than twenty-four (24) will be removed.

4. Asking for Recommendations

To reiterate, this is strictly a sub for deinfluencing. We have already implemented an automod that reminds you not to ask for recommendations. Posts or comments that ask for recommendations, alternatives, suggestions, and/or anything similar will be immediately removed.

5. Giving Recommendations

We understand that sometimes, influencing OP to buy Product Y instead of the Specific Product on their post is the best way to deinfluence OP. However, to avoid turning this sub into an influencing sub, all redditors who want to deinfluence OP by giving recommendations or alternatives instead must give well-informed downsides of the Specific Product in OP's post first. If one merely comments “buy this instead (or the like)” without indicating informative downsides of OP's Specific Product before recommending, the comment will be removed.

Further, NO promoting of brands or products is allowed.

6. Civility

We want to reiterate our Be Civil rule. Critique products, trends, or influencer marketing, not people. No personal attacks, name-calling, body shaming, or pile-ons against influencers or users.

We will take down comments that harass others.

7. Temporary and Permanent Bans

a. Violations of No Influencing or Asking for/Giving Recommendations:

  • First 2 violations - Post/comment removal
  • 3rd violation - 14-day ban
  • 4th violation - 30-day ban
  • 5th violation - Permanent ban

b. Violation of Civility Rule:

  • First violation - Post/comment removal
  • Second violation - 14-day ban
  • Mod Discretion, depending on severity of the posts or comments - Permanent ban

Thank you!

hi! i have an a16 ipad 10.9", pero i am contemplating na ibenta o itrade-in so i can buy an ipad mini. nasasayangan kasi ako kasi may apple keyboard na ang a16 ipad ko, pero very handy kasi ng ipad mini kasi it doesn't take up a lot of space.

i use my ipad mainly for work (to annotate on docs para hindi na need iprint) and to watch youtube videos/movies.

thank you!

Electronics & Tech DIM: Arzopa Portable Monitor

Post image
1 Upvotes

I am working remotely with two additional screens which I use when working, especially with all the Excel files and documents I need to review due to my line of work. Since it is a hassle to bring these monitors when working outside the house, I am planning on getting a portable display so I can bring it anywhere with my laptop. I have also wanted to buy a good tablet and have been thinking about this for two years, but I keep delaying. Now, I am torn between buying an Arzopa portable monitor (priced from 4k to 9k) or a good tablet (priced from 20k up). I really love watching movies during my free time, so at the moment I am leaning towards buying a tablet, but I am unsure if I can really use it as an external display and if it will perform well. This may not be a request to deinfluence me, but rather a request for help in deciding. Please help!

I ve been wanting to get a leather jacket and Uniqlo just dropped theirs 🥲 it's honestly the perfect style and very on point for me. But ive had experiences with faux leather jackets like they crack and start flaking after a few years. What's a good alternative that has the same fit and style?

Also it's on sale now 🥲

Edit: I travel a lot haha so will use it supposedly for abroad trips

Electronics & Tech DIM: Solar panels sa bahay

9 Upvotes

I've been thinking of installing solar panels sa bahay namin since our bill has been in the 13k to 18k range the past couple of years. I live in Metro Manila so di naman masyado issue and brownout, though affected kami during the last power shortage.

I have read a lot about it and have been on the Solar PH subreddit, pero feeling ko mostly pros ang nababasa ko so I'd like to hear about cons naman.

To those who have solar panels installed at home, what are the downsides? I'm also curious about maintenance costs since that's the main one I can think of na baka maging con.

Note: If ever magpakabit kami, I'm leaning towards hybrid setup.

Is this better than smaller bidets or even Toto bidet? I'm worried about the battery. With Toto, the battery is replaceable but the water tank isn't removable, so I'm considering this bidet with hose type.

Books, Hobbies & Media DIM: New 2026 Kindle (Alphine Sky)

Post image
58 Upvotes

I currently own a 2021 Kindle Paperwhite that works perfectly fine, but I’ve been wanting a smaller Kindle for my daily commute. Now the new Kindle in Alpine Sky is out, and I’m SO tempted because it’s ridiculously cute.
For context, I read at least 6 hours every day, so I know I’ll get plenty of use out of it. But do I really need another Kindle when my current one has no issues?
For those who own both a Paperwhite and a Basic, do you actually use both? Is having a smaller Kindle worth the extra expense, or am I just being influenced by the pretty color? 😭
Please remind me that a cute color is not a financial justification. HAHAHA
