The most interesting thing for me was seeing stuff on DPRK through I think university students over there from brief look around their website. Their food section (美食) is super legit amazing.

It's really fun right now but I doubt it'll last unless they do a major overhaul to help non-Chinese speakers use it.
I'm sure it will get hit with the enshitification hammer soon enough..
they already added an english language option is less than a day, it is not perfect, but they have a fast response time.
Oh it's that new? Nice.
I've been on it and it is hilarious.
Is it self hosted or federated? If not, pass
So far the interactions between the Chinese users and influx of Americans is super cute, Americans are trying to learn a bit of Mandarin and Chinese users are asking for help with English homework and saying that they are the Chinese spies, lol
It's also interesting because a ton of accounts are getting banned after their first post because they aren't aware of all the rules/censorship. Although to be fair, the entire app was 100% mandarin until a couple days ago.
A few rules/guidelines I found/was able to translate:
-No posting another's content without written permission
-No flashing of wealth or use of beauty filters that significantly alter your appearance
-No medical or dietary advice allowed
Imagine the reverse scenario happening and how that'd play out
They'd have already nuked Beijing
The Streisand-Maoism Effect
There's a lotta wholesome content about food and fishing and everyone seems very nice. I'm hoping the US doesn't fuck it up.
Narrator: they would.
does not have an official English name but means “little red book”
