I live in Indonesia, and I don't find any recent news that mention X (formerly Twittwr) and or Discord being blocked by the government. The only relevant news from a quick Google search I can find is about the government threatened to block X due to pornography content in 2024. You can even check for yourself if a domain is blocked by visiting https://trustpositif.komdigi.go.id/.

Also for your unability to access the VPN, as far as my experience goes, in the past some providers do block access to VPN. But, I am not experiencing that for at least the last 5 years.

So, maybe you can try changing your internet provider and see if you can connect to VPN?

There was a reported outage of cloudflare in Jakarta, while simultaneously people can't access Twitter and Discord. The worst part is that it coincides with the time when people need the information to find a safe route to go home after the protest.

I’m Curious about your general case for wanting a “hackernews for x”, please could you tell me what are the things you like about hackernews that make you want them for other topics?

Collection of articles, research, etc. that people found interesting; as opposed to journals with millions of information to sift through where most will be less actionable or interesting.
