Why is Reddit blocked by the Indonesian government?

r/AsianParentStories → Because Indonesia is still Asia, and Asia has a common patriarchal culture called “filial piety”

Indonesian loves to use Bahasa in international communities, and their own local language in national communities

Instead of debating, Indonesians prefer to shut their opponent down: dox, cancel, ad hominem, name calling, spewing fallacies, you name it

What happens to adults with Down syndrome when their parents can't look after them any more?

r/AntiNatalism → Since Indonesians believe in “banyak anak, banyak rezeki” (more child, more prosperous) principle

r/misanthropy → Since Indonesians are overly friendly, humanistic according to second Pancasila principles

Because Indonesians are not smart enough for accepting free speech inside Reddit

Can I use ChatGPT to get chapter ideas? I’ll be writing it with my own words but I just get writer’s block when it comes to what to write?

Indonesian didn’t know where, when, and why they should joking and where, when, and why they should be serious (a.k.a. they’re joking in a serious discussions, but at the same time, they’ll be offended by some harmless jokes)

Indonesians tend to be a moral police (yes, we’re talking about you, “Facebook Reporting Communities” such as IReC and Garuda Reporting which tarnishes Indonesia’s name across the globe, and yes, we’re talking about you, too, SJWs)

r/atheism, r/agnostic → This breaks first Pancasila principles, since Indonesians confusing “deity” with “religion”

I've never read the book. What did Dorian Grey do that was so immoral and sinful?

Indonesians don’t even know what BNBRBK (Be Nice, Be Respectful, and Be Kind) principle is

And let me give you the bitter truth about Indonesian demographics:

Indonesians can’t do civil discussions both offline and online. That’s why Indonesians are perceived as “digital barbarians” by Microsoft

How can I get rid of the fake girls on social media that are claiming to be hookups? Is there a way to shuffle through them and the real women that actually want to talk?

Indonesians didn’t know what “agree to disagree” is

Indonesians tend to be Mr./Mrs. Know-It-All, they think they know everything by either only reading some articles on Wikipedia, reading some books, searching some topics on Google, and watching some videos on social media, or they think they know everything because they’re alumni of SOHK (School of Hardknocks) a.k.a. anecdotal knowledge/”trust me, bro!”. Oh, did i mention if Mr./Mrs. Know-It-All can’t stop and shut up?

Some subreddits are controversial for Indonesians, more than just porn nonsense

Nintendo will finally reveal more about Donkey Kong Bananza in new Direct - Polygon

Indonesians are attention seekers, they often giving “off-topic” comments or posts, or they often baiting (race-baiting, rage-baiting, jail-baiting) just for fun

Look at Kaskus (an Indonesian tryhard Reddit clone) which become a cesspool of so-called “free speech”.
