Here in the Philippines, it's generally around only on government buildings and schools. Some establishments and residences may opt to fly the flag as well, but most of us just don't bother at all.

Generally the flag doesn't have any negative (or positive) connotations. Both the leftists and rightists see the flag equally.

Which is important if you don't want the Fediverse to become the next Voat.

Proactively banning problematic users before they cause issues is necessary. Prevention is better than cure.
