Is there anyway you can prove you are in NK?
Why are you doing an AMA?
How did you find lemmy? and why lemmy? Why not reddit?
He said itβs coz Lemmy works on Tor
Thanks
I can not prove β¦ What do I have to do ?? I can not take pictures . It is not safe . I have to conecct to pc .
A lot of people have not ever talked to NK people β¦ I want to talk β¦ explain .
I use REDDIT β¦ I use TOR too β¦ The reddit site is bugged β¦ I can use it but no account . It is banned because of TOR . I hear of Lemmy on Reddit . It is not bugged on Tor . I can make accounts too !!
Have you considered making posts on Lemmygrad.ml and Hexbear.net ? Both of those instances are supportive of the DPRK and would have many users very interested in an AMA. Would require a Lemm.ee account or otherwise.
I do not know the instances β¦ I will think .
They would appreciate it, when I mentioned this AMA other users expressed sadness that they cannot participate due to sh.itjust.works not being connected to Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml.
Now that I have read all his comments on the other thread, I donβt think they are genuine. There are some words and phrases that a beginner to intermediate English user would not be able to use. That, along with certain statements about perceived dissing on North Korea, and also their inability to verify their identity broadly somehow, make me believe they are fake.
Or maybe the right questions havenβt been asked.
Regardless of believability, without verification it should be taken with a large heaping of salt to begin with.

I understand your skepticism, but what I do not understand is why you would believe someone who wants to lie would put so much time and energy into this. I never expected you to believe me to begin with, but I am just confused. I understand that my English skills are not very strong, but I am doing my best to communicate clearly. I have used a translator a few times because there are some things I donβt know how to express properly in English.
How did you learn English?
We learn EN in NK β¦ Some schools . Mine school is one example !!
There was a story 3 months ago saying hot dogs are banned π
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/kim-jong-un-bans-hotdogs-for-north-koreans-cooking-them-an-act-of-treason/TKN3HJF3HRHZZHCCJ5L7EPF66Q/
Is this true?
Not OP, but I find it dubious in the extreme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idcJsAFfieU&t=1796s
Western media cook up cartoonish anticommunist narratives all the time. Itβs a lucrative business.
I have not seen this . I did not eat hot dog recently β¦ and I think it is not the truth .
@kescusay@lemmy.world
As a kiwi, can I table the suggestion that nothing from the herald Iβd trustworthy?
I have mixed feelings about my countries loss of trust in our media - these guys did nothing to help themselves
How would you describe your standard of living and also the βnormalβ standard of living for most people?
NK people have simple lifes !! We have jobs β¦ and family . Much of NK people in the COUNTRYSIDE do not live well .
Assuming this is real, what are your favorite foods, and what do you spend your free time doing?
How much do North Koreans know about the outside world? Do they express interest in going outside the country, sometimes?
We heard about the world always β¦ We have news . NK people knows what happened in the world in the past and in this days !!
Yes !! A lot of NK people wants to visit other countrys !!
How much are North Koreans really aware of the propaganda that they are being fed? Is it common knowledge?
To be fair, this goes both ways. You can say anything about the DPRK and Westerners will believe you.
.
Radio Free America: Three Stooges go to the Korean DMZ and βbreakβ DPRK βlawsβ Youβll NEVER BELIEVE what CRAZY LAWS the DPRK will PASS NEXT!!!
Number 5 is the most shocking
Sure, but not a lot of countries have this same global reputation.
Sure, but that also means there are tons of myths and fabrications told about the DPRK that people accept uncritically just because thereβs so little real information coming from there.
Iβm confused how you accessed the outside Internet.
Just to ask, tho, why do you post from the instance sh.itjust.works?
They are currently actively answering on the Lemmy.world version of this post, apparently they picked SJW because it doesnβt require any verification.
goddamn it, they deleted it. Apparently, they use Tor and it works on lemmy.ml. What a compliment
Itβs back up on Lemmy.world.
I have internet β¦ I can not say how . It is not illegal . Not many NK people have internet β¦
Does the subway on Pyongyang actually work outside the stops where tourists always go?
Yes !! But not the whole city .

On average, how much do you think your fellow North Koreans actually believe in the dear leader?
How do you feel about the general culture of absolute obedience to people higher up in the hierarchy?
How do you even have access to a computer (phone?) and the internet? Arenβt those heavily restricted and watched by the police?
Youtube has some propaganda/advertisement videos showing shops in Pyongyang with ice cream and other sweets. Do the locals buy there often, or at all?
1 . Everyone β¦ The leaders made the country exist !! A little few NK people do not like the gov β¦ And they do not speak . It is not advised !!
2 . It is important β¦ It is order and organized . It is not good when they have corruption in the heart .
3 . That is not the truth . Many NK people have a personal phone and PC . It is not the truth the police watches everyone in their phones . Not all NK people have internet β¦ I do . I use TOR to hide . I do not wish to be known I use Lemmy and other things . The bridges are used . Policemen do not watch PC . The internet company is by the gov β¦ They see what is done .
Everyone has phones . They are for pictures and talking . And infomration and games !!
4 . I do not know . I do not live in this city .
