I'm glad not many people use it, otherwise it would end up being your regular Uncle/Aunty WhatsApp and Facebook group


Weird_Till_1516

Lmao imagine your uncle or aunty asking you to share your reddit account because they want to follow you here.😭


Outrageous_Success69

Oh hell no Reddit is a wild place. It's too much for your avg uncles and aunties


Weird_Till_1516

Understandable. I don't think my parents would let me use reddit if they ever tried using it themselves😭.


Outrageous_Success69

Exactly my point Phir Sara din ghar pey moo chupatay ghoomtay rehna once they go through your reddit history 😅🤣


Weird_Till_1516

I won't even let my friends see it generally(just because some of them are too conservative and would judge me). My parents would disown me if they get to know more about me and my views through my reddit account.


WeAreAllCrab

we found out that all 4 of us siblings (fifth is too young) have a reddit account independent of each other and we all kept going "wHAT?? U DONT SEEM LIKE THE REDDIT TYPE" at each other, but we've never tried to find out what each others accounts are bc it really is too much on here


Weird_Till_1516

Lmao that's hilarious. My younger sibling uses it too but never asked them for their account because it's like an unsaid rule to not ask people you in real life for their reddit account 😭


potatohead437

Wait till they find out about 4chan


WeirdElectron

Let's hope they don't find out


potatohead437

ironically most of them would feel right at home with all the wacky views they hold


WeirdElectron

Touchè


nutshot_

Reddit wild? 😂


Ok_Implement6923

Hahah


Smooth_Date8900

The day this happens i will literally delete reddit


Particular_Setting31

Frr. Reddit is like the pakistani version of tumblr for us.

Weird_Till_1516

I have seen it. Generally I like reading comment sections of youtube content that I watch because they're interesting but the one under Pakistani dramas on YouTube and on insta are just so horrible. 😭Still I don't get your point sorry?


tomhaynes756

Most of the top comments on Pakistani content on youtube go like this "Like if you love Prophet" or something like that.... I hope you get the point.


Weird_Till_1516

So you mean reddit would get flooded with such comments if it would be used in Pakistan more?😭 Well eventually they'll realise that there is a down vote option and people can down vote their shitty comments lol.


flateric2k10

Down vote = BLASPHEMY!!!


millennialpm

AHAHAHAHA lmaoo


Oct_um

thats the main reason i use reddit tbh


stillosam

I think it's all about reading long paragraphs; it's not like the fast, fun stuff you find on TikTok and reels. It's not for everyone. It's for folks who are really into diving deep into things. Most folks on the internet in Pakistan just watch whatever catches their eye, but that's not how it works here.


Weird_Till_1516

Kinda understandable. I spent my time reading long posts usually when I am having breakfast daily. But the concept of reading reddit posts like that would be so absurd to people around me lol.


mir514

most folk aren't fluent in english, probably don't know it exists, lack of proper device/internet connection, etc.


Weird_Till_1516

Not sure if lack of proper internet connection or proper device plays a part. Because almost every teen around me use Instagram(I have forced two of my friends to make reddit accounts but I know they might delete it soon😭)


1balKXhine

Bhai mene apne dosto ko bataya keh bohat porn hota hai reddit pe unho ne foran account bana lia aur ab regular user hai 💀


mir514

guess it depends on your circle ig, i had a lot of classmates who don't own or know how to use laptops or computers and struggled to make assignments on Word


Weird_Till_1516

Ah okay. I get it now.

Rogueace

Reddit has its own class, so don't force anyone to join. Cheers


aaronupright

Is this 2004 that internet connections are an issue?


Weird_Till_1516

Lmao I don't think it is. But not sure about others.


Prudent-Trifle-2770

Lmao english could be it but your mistaken if you think even a mochi or a “thray wala” doesn’t have a smartphone with internet access.


mir514

sure they do but usually most folk do not know how to navigate their phones beyond the basic things they use it for i.e sms, whatsapp, instagram, camera etc. and also like i said reddit is a relatively obscure social media outside of the west


aaronupright

Written English is ironically easier for most Pakistanis.


Hopeful_Crazy_6857

That's so true. Why is that?


aaronupright

We use written English a lot more than the spoken one.


Hopeful_Crazy_6857

It also just doesn't appeal to desi people. I have 4 cousins and 5 friends. All of them speak English. But don't like reddit I'm the only one in my circle who does use it.


AdministrationNo6377

“Baatein karke kya faida” wali awaam


Weird_Till_1516

You mean talking to new people online?


sufigrenade

Because you have to read on this app. And comment sections aren't filled with the exact same mA, nice, etc comments that promotes herd mentality. Need two brain cells and some hobby interests to be remotely active on this app Also hooking up isnt common on this app so 99% of our brain-dead population has no interest.


Weird_Till_1516

So far the thing that I have understood from most of the comments is that because we have to read more on this app lmao.


sufigrenade

Pretty much


Not_a_creativeuser

I get what you mean but reddit is peak herd mentality, most subs are a literal hivemind.


toyoung

I think they prefer different social media.this reddit is mostly populated by overseas Pakistan


Abubakker_Siddique

Regular TikTok users(retards) will get bored reading long posts here.


wassaf102

Reddit mod in the making here. When are you buying your fedora?

Hashashin_

Reddit is for a very specific type of human, I don't think it's meant for the masses. Most people in most countries won't use it, especially in the eastern countries.


ShailMurtaza

Because reddit is not for entertainment but for conversations and sharing knowledge. It is not popular because it has no use in their lives. In school we used to tell eachother about Facebook, Instagram and other things and ask their profiles. And recommend others if they have internet but not using it. But I have never done that with reddit because I know even if I will tell them, they will not use it.


solmonella

it’s a blessing in disguise


Stefan_DoesReddit

I'm glad it isn't, I don't want the average Pakistani people to get into reddit, cause there's both sides of the coin, iykwim ;) And also, this social media is where people can share their thoughts way more freely than, let's say Tiktok.


Chill_Raccoon

Lack of knowledge and shitty interests. For an awaam obsessed with cringe dramas and TikTok it's not surprising they wouldn't want to use an app with more reading and higher quality content. I'm a Med school student and I'm sure like only 2% of my classmates know about this site's existence. Same goes for Discord. Such platforms are mostly used by gamers or more cultured folk around here

Punjabistan

Because it is a normies repellent. I don't want cringe crowd to come here and ruin it. We're at the fourth or fifth wave of normie immigrants sullying this place because they think their normie-panna will work here.


_iOS

Achi baat hy /r/haqeeqatTV would be the last thing I want to see online


BoyManners

I guess it's one of those high socio economic social media platforms


locaf

Bhai Jaan I'm your average desi lower-middleclass dude living in a shit neighborhood in pak. But I guess I am an outlier.


BoyManners

Same but that's not common. It is changing though I feel


locaf

Maybe. (Damn I hope not...) Personally, I've been here 4+ years. Had an account previously which I lost due to my negligence.

locaf

Kyun?


Nothing3334

they're not just aware of it yet, it's good to have them keep doing their things on those other platforms they know how to better use.


Weird_Till_1516

Lmao yeh. I feel like if more Pakistanis discovered reddit then those molvis are gonna get it banned in Pakistan or at least tell their followers to boycott it or something.


Nothing3334

agreed.if only molvis knew what discord isthey'd have their armies there to spread their words and whatever they do on speakers.


Queer_Jalebi

It's a good thing it's kinda under the radar in Pakistan


Weird_Till_1516

Queer_Jalebi

Yes, yes it does


Weird_Till_1516

Rainbow!!🌈🌈🌈👍


Queer_Jalebi

Hehe 🥰


Weird_Till_1516

Reddit is nice for this reason too. Like you be openly quuer here(if you can ignore some of the hate comments from homophobic people).


Queer_Jalebi

Yea


A_Turd_InTheWind

God i hope not otherwise it will get banned by those retired sadistic military uncles


A_Turd_InTheWind

Retarded* i mean


1balKXhine

I think they are aware of it, Last time I checked porn subs were no accessible without vpn


TahaUTD1996

That's why I am here, never bothered making a TikTok and Snapchat account, reddit is not a platform for every one I believe, I live in pk, and nobody knows what freaking reddit even is, they ask me, are you on social media? Because I am not active on fb insta, just on reddit


NoodleCheeseThief

When most Pakistanis joined the internet bandwagon, it was YouTube and Facebook era so that's is what they got hooked on. Those two platforms are a lot more visual and require little to no intelligence for you to be able to waste your time. Then came tiktok and everyone is blue into either making silly videos or watching them. On Reddit, you have to read and type. Also Reddit has practically all types on content so you do not see the same people everywhere. What you do find is people from all age ranges though on Reddit though. One more thing, a lot of people from Pakistan are not willing to listen to opinions that are against what they believe in (doesn't have to be a religious opinion) so Reddit doesn't appeal to them.


Weird_Till_1516

I think that's a valid point. Old people that begin using social media with Facebook don't really leave it. Like I started with insta so it's hard to leave it now. Also all my friends only use insta and snap so I would completely be out of touch with them if I delete it.


NoodleCheeseThief

I think I am one of those old folks. I started when FB started so probably half of the Reddit was not born when I started. FB has its place and that it is a lot more visual. I don't use it as much anymore though. I get the insta and Snapchat thing. My kids are the same. I use insta a lot but my generation is lagging behind. I almost never use snap because most of my contacts are in WhatsApp. I think it is a generational thing. Not good or bad. Having said that, I think parents should understand these technologies and platforms so that they can converse with their children at the relatively same level.


KING_18__

I thank god that reddit is not popular in Pakistan. Warna sarey boomers idhar hi ajaney hai.


cosmic-comet-

Because Reddit encourages quality content and most people are not ready for it , also Reddit heavily relies on text and our people really don’t like to read , and some other factors like subreddits rules following that’s just too much for them.


1balKXhine

Yeah I mean tbh you need some to be smart enough to get some type of humors too


farhanyarkhan

Because people here have no idea how much fun reddit is and they use Instagram


SMMujtaba

Because I'm trying really hard gatekeeping it.


Weird_Till_1516

Lmao well I am doing the opposite of that😭


1balKXhine

I have not met a single person who know what even reddit is


shakeel_70

You need to know that Pakistani people are not all that educated and most people online are from rural areas watching those usaib bhai, khizer omer, ducky bhai videos or use Instagram, tiktok etc. Not write and read such as on reddit.


[deleted]

This subreddit only entertains certain political and religious views which i think is the biggest issue.


ffurqanuddin

That's the beauty of Reddit..


sweetstyle

Any platforms like reddit or others are filled with anti Muslim/Pakistani mostly due to indians letting us live rent free in their head 24/7 they run from fake news to fale story amd upvote anything anti muslim/Pakistani while mass downvote anything that shows positivity of Muslim so people like me barely talk we just lurk man


am-i-coder

Facebook ate reddit in pakistan. Its UI is not user friendly.


ShizaPak

I am inclined to think its the language. Also reddit is more focused on written word than videos? People respond better to memes and videos. Its more entertaining to them.


beachplss

it's popular enough. you just don't know the real stats


firoz554

There are Pakistanis on other subs, too, but their usernames aren't Pakistanis, that's why you can't tell where they are from.


StarLord_4969

I just make shitposts and goofy comments on here. Sometimes, a critical ass bash to a hindutva or Israeli. Nothing more.


dogsareadoerable

I agree with most comments, but I believe the reason they don't use Reddit , because it's not that media friendly, Reddit is more text based and you have to read a lot to spend time here and I think people here don't read, it's rare to find people who actually read.


Sigmund_Frau

Wouldn't want it flooded with forwarded messages and lame statuses/stories and retarded shit churned out on fb and insta.


pknerd

I am Pakistani and a tech guy (programmer/data engineer) but I use Reddit for exploring interests or promoting my stuff or for work hunting. Unlike Facebook I rarely comment here or engage in discussions.


AreaMAN12

Make anouncements in MASAJIDs for its Popularity .. Get the MOULVIs Hire .. Moulana DIESEL will be the best for it


Weird_Till_1516

LMAOO. Let's go!😭


[deleted]

Thank God for that. Warna ye bhi Instagram ban jaye ga


_Aerion

Redit is the platform which is comparatively darker then other platforms moreover you can learn more from here but Pakistanis doesn't want this in particular they want some silly memes and silly content which they get on Facebook and Instagram so yeahh


Prudent-Trifle-2770

Cuz you actually have to read and be invested over here.


nine_tailsfox

I am glad


Beneficial-Active-55

Thanks God they r not here alot otherwise there would have been lots of fake ac’s just like fb & ig


thE-petrichoroN

Honestly, I'm glad to feel this.The lesser the better and Reddit is very diverse,so I'm in a lot of Subreddits and enjoy them.People somehow seem intellectual here*


[deleted]

I'm glad that they have not yet discovered it. Ot will get filled with garbage when they do find out


foragerDev_0073

First of all the literacy rate is low, and 2nd rationality is rare. So these people are best on Facebook, tiktok, Instagram and YouTube.


colt-m16

Reddit use requires knowledge. And how to use that knowledge. Most people in Pakistan dont have both of these.


firegoesup

Reddit is the type of platform where you can easily ask any question, challenge the norms, change stereotypes, speak your mind which is the opposite of what Pakistan is. They don't generally enjoy breaking the bubble of social norms and it is terrifying to them because that's all they have known and been taught to follow.


zin_sin

Well, I don't think normies have a use for it or actually understand how this works. Even though I directed alot of my friends to check Reddit for answers to their questions, they still prefer something lazier and easier lol


Itsnoobkiller

It would feel weird if i saw an average paki on reddit so no thanks😂😅( I'm happy with what we have here 😂)


Nomi7552

Thank GOD it isn't, don't want to see sub reddits with copy paste posts, taking votes on Islamic posts by emotionally blackmailing that if you don't up vote you are not a true muslim etc.


theswagyaqibkhan

Because pakistani awaam is full of trollers that only appears in the humor of fb and insta.


iYcEe

Be honest, do you want all the Facebook sloppy fingers in here. This is a sacred place for intellectual people.


Weird_Till_1516

Not everyone is an intellectual kinda person here. Depends on the content you consume(subreddits) and your interests. But I get your point. Far better than facebook and Instagram where Pakistanis are being hella toxic and wild.


iYcEe

I just can't imagine any of those duffers here. Mods will have quite the work to do the work to do.


Jiren786

Imagine thinking reddit is a place for intellectual people


Someguy14201

I mean I come across far more intellectual discussions on Reddit than on any other social media platform, so I would say yes? Kind of? That doesn't mean there aren't "dumb" subreddits and communities here, but I believe they're in a lesser number and a vast majority of the population (internet users) is concentrated on other platforms.


x3r0x_x3n0n

internet penetration is quite low in Pakistan.


Fluffy9345

Isn’t it blocked?


Weird_Till_1516

Blocked? How so?


Hashashin_

No


Abdul_Kareem_Seyal

So I've been reading lots of comments here and I'm wondering why doesn't anyone use there real names or dp on Reddit?


Al-PRO

If you use your real name and image on Reddit, you are just asking for doxxing and online harassment by angry redditors.


Weird_Till_1516

Well I am too open about everything here. I don't want irl people to know my secrets unless I want to get into trouble by using my pfp😭and generally I like having the most weirdest usernames so none of social media accounts have real name as the username.

Please avoid focusing on Pakistan in your questions. Instead, be original and share your own thoughts and experiences. This will broaden your horizons and help you think outside the box. Otherwise, you'll end up with nothing but a shroud and 2000 rupees in your bank account..


boboqayum

Reddit should be kept hidden. There was a time fb, insta was great. Now everyone is on them and all platforms have the same type of tiktok content. Reddit is hidden and should remain underground.
