    I used to post on r/pyongyang. It was a lot of veiled sarcasm praising the regime, famine, prison camps, etc. Every once in a while someone new would show up confused. Depending on their responses, they would either be attacked as capitalist shill pigs, or ‘gaslit’ with more posts praising NK in comparison to the free world.

    I don’t get that vibe from this group. But I could be wrong.

      Same opinion. Pyongyang was fun, we laughed at each other and invented the most stupid sentences to praise this dictatorship.

      But tankies on lemmy are not fun at all. I think it’s a mix of bots and angry teenagers, but I can be wrong too.

          Seeing how anytime is Hamas is criticized here, the critic is given a torrent of down votes yet nobody ever really responds to the criticism, I think bots are almost certainly an issue here.
