dudes rock

You linked two things. One of these is an article about literal ancient history, and the other is an article about three Christians who all lived and died long before the country we're discussing existed. Please, please explain to me how your "sources" are in any way relevant to the topic at hand.

Your circular logic is as follows: The DPRK is isolationist. We know it's isolationist because they don't let people in. We know they don't let people in because they're isolationist. No, I won't pay any attention to the hard fact that they do, in fact, let people in, and that it is in fact their enemies who do not let people into their country.

you have some very strange, very incorrect ideas about the DPRK built on a foundation of circular logic. please start de-propagandizing yourself with that video i linked earlier, it's a very good one.

we are having a conversation about a country which has existed for less than 100 years why the fuck are you talking about the roman empire and the joseon dynasty

Apologies if my semantics/grammar are too loose

your grammar is fine, it is the content of your posts which is utterly useless.

sources
Wikipedia

The restrictions for leaving and entering have not been imposed on them externally, this attitude of Korea predates even the Roman empire so external factors wouldn't have been possible as a cause

come back when you can form a coherent thought

the room with people in red shirts has suddenly decided to connect with the rooms with the less numerous blue and green shirts
think the red ones should simply return to their own room that they were perfectly happy with until now

go back to reddit. this is the fediverse, the entire point is that these are not, in fact, "separate" rooms. being connected is the default. that's why it requires a giant discussion to kick anyone out.

Where exactly do you see the invitation?

It was posted publicly to all federated communities and absolutely no indication was made that the majority of people to whom the post was sent were unwelcome to participate.

On Hexbear, we have a rule that we have to leave meta discussions of other instances alone if they want us to. All the admin had to say was, "lem.ee users only" and we would've stayed out. If you refuse to take such a simple measure to restrict discussion to your own community, you do not actually want to restrict discussion to your own community.

And the admin didn't. You can go ask him. He was not trying to keep hexbear users out or in any way offended by the fact that we participated in the discussion. Why are you (a member of neither instance) offended on his behalf?

Imagine you've got 100,000 people in a room. Let's say they're split between people wearing blue shirts, green shirts, and red shirts. But it's not an even split. Half of the people in the room are wearing red shirts. Someone in a blue shirt steps up onto the stage and says, "Open discussion everyone: I think red shirts are assholes and we should kick them all out of the room."

What exactly do you expect to happen next?

Those instances need a space to discuss those goals among themselves, where the admins can communicate with the users, etc.

That's not what the thread in question was. We were invited to join the discussion. If we had not been welcome to join the discussion, we would have stayed out of it.

I say that, I'm going by every regular source that ever existed

"regular source"

its near-impossible standards for leaving or entering

did you know these are imposed on them externally? their policy is that they love tourists. here's a video of a couple of australian tourists enjoying themselves there. the reason americans can't go there is because the US forbids it.

its lack of internet access (who here has seen anyone who is actually from North Korea),

it's a country under brutal siege for its entire history. yes, they're poor. whose fault is that?

North Korea has the world’s worst human rights

You understand propaganda like a fish understands water

But I haven't seen many lemmy.world comments there, for example

Why would there be a large proportion of lemmy.world comments when the thread is literally about hexbear? You don't expect hexbear users to have stronger opinions on that than lemmy.world users?

only 66k a year until you’re 80

motherfucker i make like 12k a year

What definition of safe are you using which makes a private messaging system without privacy safe? What would have to occur for it to become unsafe, if not being private does not make it unsafe in your eyes?

They absolutely do. A private messaging system which is not private is the definition of unsafe. Especially in the context of a post on !privacy@lemmy.ml

If something claims to be unsafe and delivers, that doesn't make it any more safe.

Safe and private are synonyms in this context.

It is not unsafe.
It is not 100% private. Admins can read your messages if they choose to investigate your messages.

These points contradict one another.

I don't know any of the technical details, but my understanding is they're very unsafe. Our instance has a warning recommending that you take conversations involving sensitive information to Matrix

my elbow had a small itch a moment ago, so i scratched it.

I think they should be [REDACTED]
