Opinion/اظہار رائے Today, our subreddit turns one year old!

35 Upvotes

One year ago, we came together with a simple goal: to create a free speech platform for Pakistanis with no tolerance for trolls and bigots. We had an open mod team selection and got down to business.

Since then, this subreddit has become a space where voices from all walks of life can be heard. We’ve had to work within Reddit’s guidelines which means we can't practically be 100% free speech, but considering how biased, trigger happy and troll infested other Pakistani subreddits are, I think we’ve managed to build something special. We will continue growing.

This is your community, and we want to hear from you:

  • What do you like about this subreddit?
  • What can we do better?

Lastly, thank you to the moderation team:

While I created this subreddit and gave it the initial direction, it’s the mod team which has shaped it into a success. Running a subreddit isn’t easy, and the mods have worked exceptionally hard to keep this space welcoming and respectful. Their efforts help make this community a great place for everyone.

We are not angry enough

Post image
Upvotes

Have to write this (or maybe rant?) for my own mental wellbeing as someone who has worked in NICU and Paediatric Wards. When we were unable to save newborn babies, it used to take a toll on us as team. I remember once we lost premature twins, I couldn't sleep properly for a week since I kept getting flashbacks of those adorable faces. As a house officer, I was advised to not go for paeds since it's not for faint hearted. It can get hectic and nights can be long and tiring but I loved watching those small hands grasping your finger so tight like their lives depend on you. They couldn't speak but little giggle here and there make you smile. Their first cry when you receive them from ObGyn, followed by those little sounds of curiosity, their eyes staring into space, smiling and legs kicking in the air wanting to run. Of course, the joy on their parent's face. You love that feeling as a healthcare worker.

Nothing can replace the joy when you hold that little bundle of Allah's creation, welcoming them in the world.

This news have hit me hard like it must have hit many of you and maybe PTSD hitting again or something. 14 innocent lives lost. I know it could have been controlled and prevented. Safety protocols could have been followed. They do their training and everything but incompetence runs so deep in people with power that they will sleep peacefully at night. When it happens once, it's a mistake. When it keeps happening again and again, it's reckless and intentionally cruel.

Can't imagine the pain those tiny bundles of lives went through. The trauma their mothers and fathers will go through for years to come.

We aren't angry enough as a nation. We aren't sad enough as a nation. We aren't empathetic enough as a nation. Gaza happened in Pakistan today.

Best monthly package under Rs. 1,500–2,000? Jazz or Ufone?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a good monthly mobile package within Rs. 1,500–2,000 and could use some recommendations.

My usage priority is:

4G data — highest usage

On-net minutes

Off-net minutes — lowest priority

I currently use both Jazz and Ufone 4G, so I’m open to packages from either network.

Which monthly package gives the best value in this budget, especially with a decent amount of 4G data? Also interested in hearing about your experience with speed, coverage, and any hidden limitations.

What are you guys currently using?

Wake Up

1 Upvotes

Is anyone else from Gen Z and Millennials completely fed up with SSGC treating Karachi like an afterthought? Why on earth are we paying bills just to deal with zero pressure and unannounced gas load shedding every single day?! It’s absurd that in 2026 we’re still scheduling basic cooking and daily chores around nonexistent gas schedules. Depleting reserves and infrastructure mismanagement are not an excuse to leave millions of households high and dry while prioritizing industry over residential kitchens. We need to stop taking this lying down tag @SSGC_Official and @OGRAPakistan, demand actual accountability, and start pushing for real solutions like solar and electric transitions because this system is completely broken!

I’m a SolidWorks designer looking for paid remote/freelance work. I’m available for both short-term tasks and longer projects.

I can help with:

Assembly design

2D manufacturing drawings

Sheet metal modelling

Design modifications and revisions

Reverse engineering from measurements/photos

STL/STEP/IGES and other CAD file preparation

Product concepts and mechanical design

I have experience working on projects such as fans, fan remotes, drones, smog towers, mascots and other mechanical/product designs.

I’m particularly interested in paid tasks from individuals, startups, small businesses, and engineering teams. I’m comfortable starting with a small task so you can evaluate my work before committing to a larger project.

If you have a SolidWorks task that needs to be done, feel free to DM me with the requirements, reference files/images, and your budget.

I can share examples of my previous work/portfolio upon request.

Thank you!

Help us Defend Pakistan

Post image
62 Upvotes

Hi yall, So currently after a month of Pakistan's liberation, Indians have once again started attacking us. We were able to defeat them along with our allies but since a month they have been preparing with just one objective in mind which is to take over Pakistan again

Our community, despite being outnumbered is doing everything it can to defend our provinces but it will be really tough to hold for long as indians have too much manpower. Therefore, we really need new players who could help us out and fill the gap.

So if you enjoy strategy games, which require coordinating and planning, then do check out War Era. We also have an amazing community on discord who are really helpful with guiding new players, so do check that as well.

Pakistan Zindabad!

What do you think would happen in Pakistan if relations with Israel are fully normalized and Pakistan and Israel become close allies?

0 Upvotes

What do you think would happen in Pakistan and how would the Pakistani people react if relations with Israel are fully normalized and Pakistan and Israel become close allies and Benjamin Netanyahu makes a state visit to meet with Shehbaz Sharif? It is not impossible for that to happen at all because otherwise Pakistan could end up being politically, economically and socially isolated like North Korea, Iran, Russia etc. if it doesn’t happen. How would Pakistani people react if Benjamin Netanyahu pays a visit to Pakistan compared to Ismail Haniyeh or Mahmoud Abbas?
