Welcome to thevisoria!
The fediverse community for Philippine classifieds. For Filipinos and by Filipinos.
Rules
1. Follow Code of Conduct
2. Nothing illegal or scammy
No drugs. No deadly weapons. No sexual solicitations. No selling of used Reddit/Twitter accounts. No MLM. No crypto. We don't have to list them all, just use common sense.
3. Don't SPAM or re-post
Pretty self-explanatory. This also applies to making individual threads for each item (just lump everything into one post) or reposting the same ad every few days (delete the original before making a new one).
4. Be descriptive
Be as detailed as possible with your post. Indicate if you're a buyer or seller, where you're located, payment options, if courier only, and so on.
5. List the price when selling
Please, for the love of all that's holy: Put the price on your post. PM is not the key. Also, indicate if the price is non-negotiable to save yourself the pain of lowballers.
6. Don't troll other ads
Respect other people's ads. If you think it's too expensive, then ignore and move on.
7. No doxing
It's very easy to Photoshop IDs or pass off someone else's name and details as your own, so posting it to warn others that said person is a scammer could be putting an innocent individual in danger. This is non-negotiable.
8. Deal at your own risk
We just moderate the community and have no idea who posts here or what transactions are carried out. Deal at your own discretion and always follow your gut.

The Fediverse Answer to Online Classifieds
With c/Philippines continuing the practice of prohibiting advertisements, we figured we might as well have a fediverse alternate where we can forward these types of posts.
The vaccine jokes, however, will persist despite this community no longer existing on the same space as some QAnon marketplace.
What's with the name?
Since every single sub about online selling is some variation of "ph" and "classifieds", we had to quickly veto "1337classifiedzph". It was a tough decision.
Instead, a reference to "Divisoria" was proposed. Unfortunately, it's already taken and has no content at all. In our opinion, we're the Divisoria. Hence, thevisoria.
What can be posted?
In general, we're quite lenient We're not just about selling and buying. You can self-promote your shops. You can ask for participants on your survey. You can beg for financial help. You can astroturf. You can ask for recommendations that seem suspiciously self-promotional and astroturfing. Share classified ads-related memes. Whatever, man.
However, since it's a fairly new place, don't expect much responses (if any at all) just yet. Which brings me to...
Spread the word
Lastly, we'd appreciate it if you could get your buddies or the rest of the inter-webs know about this community and encourage them to join and post.
Just don't do it in a desperate and aggressive way like you're bringing up the Axie team in your FB group chat while the topic is about truffle pasta.
On the other hand, just keep on posting! It achieves the same thing by helping us establish a content-based community and sooner or later this place will be (hopefully) smelling like roses!
