Hexbear users tend to like DPRK, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or North Korea. Pyongyang is the capital city of DPRK.

DPRK is heavily sanctioned and censored by the West. There is a lot of misinformation spread about DPRK, sometimes positive, sometimes negative. An example of positive misinformation would be all the twitter accounts making up fake Kim Jong Un quotes.

DPRK is communist and practices Juche.

There are websites hosted in DPRK that are accessible internationally. DPRK owns the .kp TLD. Every website that ends with .kp is hosted in DPRK.

Linking directly to websites hosted in DPRK could demystify the western perspective of DPRK. To combat western narratives, all posts on the comm should contain a link to a .kp website or archive of a .kp website.

The concept of the comm is simple. Visit a DPRK website, find something you like, post the link to the page on hexbear. Optionally screenshot the page or archive it with an archive website.

Hexbear has a China comm, so why not have a DPRK comm?

here's a current list of DPRK websites. https://archive.is/RT91h

These webpages tend to post new stuff daily, so the comm would never run out of content.

Who would post on this comm? I would. I've made tons of posts in the past linking to DPRK websites. Anyone else who browses DPRK websites is welcome to post the .kp links onto the comm as well.

Why does hexbear need another comm? Other comms allow western perspectives of DPRK to be posted. This comm would limited to posting the DPRK perspective. DPRK websites have articles about stuff happening in the DPRK, but also some of the website have commentary on international news. Rodong Sinmun has daily articles about stuff that the US does and the rest of the world.

Users would be welcome to comment whatever they like, but posts should be based on DPRK websites.

Additionally, DPRK has shown rapid development over the past couple years. On June 18 2024, DPRK signed a trade agreement with Russia, which I believe gave DPRK expanded access to new technologies.
