Why is Reddit blocked by the Indonesian government?

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

What is the future of AI and which are the best ones in 2025?

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

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

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)

What are some ten strong legal evidences that are needed for a divorce?

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

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

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

How should one handle a situation where they suspect their partner of cheating, but their partner denies it and claims it is all in their head?

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)

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

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

Experts say THIS diet can significantly reduce blood pressure, even in people with diabetes - Times of India

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

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

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

Why do people say "tall, dark, and handsome" when they actually mean "tall, white, and handsome"?

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

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