Why is Reddit blocked by the Indonesian government?

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

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

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

Do opposites attract? How often do you see weird couples like a guy/girl dating someone who is boring with no sense of humor ?

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

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

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)

How did you know you weren't the narc?

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

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

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

Maycee Barber still searching for answers after medical emergency, unclear when she can resume career - MMA Fighting

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

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)

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

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?

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

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

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”.
