Why is Reddit blocked by the Indonesian government?

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

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

Why does Boko Haram attack its own Muslims?

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

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

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

After more than 60 years of development, here is the nuclear engine that is set to go to Mars with NASA. - Farmingdale Observer

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)

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

Are female judges more lenient than male ones?

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

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?

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

Giant cable and satellite company closer to Chapter 11 bankruptcy - TheStreet

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

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

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

Why do trans people get so deeply offended when a stranger misgenders them, especially when it's a first encounter? I've been socially transitioned for 4 years and it just feels like a waste of energy to be so hurt by it.

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

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