Why is Reddit blocked by the Indonesian government?

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

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

What are your political and economic beliefs? How did you form them, especially in comparison to those who hold opposing views?

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

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

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

Who are the actual "science deniers": people who wait until vaccines are proven effective, or people who believe that there are more than two genders?

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

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)

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

Why did my ex replace me so fast?

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

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

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

What was your embarrassing moment in front of your father-in-law as an Indian daughter-in-law?

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?

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

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

Spigen just released the Apple Watch charger stand I’ve always wanted - 9to5Mac

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

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)
