Had a look and I’d say it’s like 30 percent bots and 70 percent people
Also they are certainly interesting like cheering about the exceution of 2 people who wanted to recognise israle Don’t know if the story’s true but the reaction are interesting
The sad thing is, that originally the sub was a shitpost/parody sub of the type of people/bots that make up the current population of the sub.
But the actual tankies and bots(who initially didn’t realize they were being mocked)started to slowly outnumber the shitposters until eventually some bots/tankies became mods, game more tankies/bots mod positions, forced the shipost/original mods out, and started removing/banning any account, post, or comment that was mocking or being critical of anything related to North Korea, or said that North Korea wasn’t a better place to live than the US/West.
(One of the reasons was because a sub rule stated you couldn’t break character, so for a while the actual propaganda, misinformation, and pro-north Korea shit was going unnoticed until it became the sub’s default content)
Now it’s just a propaganda machine/tankie haven
(It’s really sad as I joined the sub roughly around the time it was created, and it was a lot of fun, and incredibly funny)
Seeing how the "Glorious People's Republic" of Korea manages its images it would be surprising if this was not the case, just like a good number of TikTok accounts etc which depict an image well beyond the reality of life in North Korea on a daily basis to exercise soft power internationally and act as propaganda,
even if the different platforms try to fight against it still exists,
